An older woman in front of me demanded her drink get remade because her barista was Asian. When I tried to inform her how irrational that request was, she turned and sneered, “are YOU Chinese?” I replied, “no, but your ugly-ass knockoff purse is.” Shut your racist asses up.

I created this music video as my personal way of coming out as a proud gay man who has many unheard, specific stories to tell. I withheld because of fear and shame shaped by my background but I promise to give my full truth in the rest of my life's work.🏳️‍🌈

America. Our discourse around COVID-19 is so fucking stupid. I’m in Seoul and Koreans are wearing masks and getting tested without complaint. No one’s risking lives to make a political point. They’ve united, responded correctly to a pandemic, and are back to work. It’s not hard.

REMINDER: I’m a young, tall man with a big mouth who gives zero fucks. I can afford to go on the offensive. Most people can’t defend themselves in the face of abject racism. Now is not the time for xenophobia. We need to come together in the face of a worldwide pandemic.

Hey Companies, Pride month’s over and your marketing teams will remove the rainbow flags but do consider that LGBTQ+ people remain queer all year and can always use support. Especially when trans rights are being erased. Put the money you made off of gays towards helping them. 🏳️‍🌈

Haven't talked about my grandma in a while. She's been losing her memory, which is devastating. At Thanksgiving, she had no idea who I was, but after hamming it up at dinner, she perks up and says: "EUGENE! When did you get handsome? But why are you still SO dumb and loud." 🥹

I grew up in Texas where I was often bullied by white kids. Don’t talk about it much. They’d wait for me after school so they could taunt and hit me on my way home. Once, when I dared call them racist, one of them said, “I’m not racist, I’m just bored.” That really stuck with me.

If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.
