I always leave #Nightgowns feeling in multitudes. I’m inspired toward change, toward the radical possibilities that come with queerness, toward art as protest. I’m always left in awe. Thank you, Sasha Velour, for Nightgowns.

The first writing of queer theory that moved me to tears was Muñoz’s “Gesture, Ephemera, and Queer Feeling” in his book Cruising Utopia. The chapter was simultaneously beautiful and insightful. Tonight, I saw one of the chapter’s focal figures, Kevin Aviance. And he was beautiful.
