A few months ago I heard the news that one of my all time favorite Christian artist came out as a lesbian. I can't tell you how great this made me feel. I dug out all her old songs that I hadn't listened to since I came out of the closet and left the church.
Knowing that she was "one of us" put her music in a whole different light. I could hear the struggles and pain she was going through just like I had.
Today I went to her website and have been listening to her new music. I wish I wasn't so broke so I could buy the CD! Oh well, at least I can listen to it. It's fucking awesome! She writes songs that express the things I feel but can't even begin to vocalize.
I hope that she is successful. I hope that she keeps making music and I hope that I will get to meet her someday.
Her coming out was just as brave as yours. You both deserve a tremendous amount of credit. She is an incredible musician and will continue to create music that touches all of us! I'll work on getting you to meet her, too! ;)
