I know I don’t post often, but I just love Laura so much. She’s a huge reason I felt comfortable coming out to my family, since my dad was the one to introduce me to Against Me!
Having such a cool and unabashedly trans person playing on our radio meant the world to me and I don’t know if I would have had the courage without her.
While I wasn’t ever uncertain my mom would support me, my father has always been harder to read. So having him say that she was one of his favorite singers, made my life a hell of a lot easier.
As cheesy as it is, this is why representation matters.
Long Live Laura Jane Grace
