Greetings from Ireland! Isn't Panti amazing???!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Enie,
DeleteThanks for stopping by! Yes, Panti is amazing. Such a wonderful, sane, reflective, and thoughtful commentary on the ridiculousness of the anti-gay movement and the damage that movement brings.
Thrilled you posted this! I have struggled for several years to come out even to myself, and this talk by Panti made a huge difference. She turned it back around. I do have the right to name what feels oppressive to me and that is big, having sat with too much guilt and conflict around it for way too long. Thank you Panti and thank you Jason for posting.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo -- Thanks so much for your comment. I'm so glad this clip spoke some truth to you!
