This weekend I was performing at an a cappella event in San Francisco and I got the chance to hear one of my favorite a cappella groups sing a song called "I Know A Place" (opb MUNA) when I started to listen closely to the words. It turns out this song is about LGBTQ safe spaces, and it reminded me of the readings such as Gay New York and Butch to Butch. The song is really beautiful, and I encourage you all to listen to the original or this a cappella rendition. It came out in the dark times of the nightclub shootings a few years ago, but is reminiscent of the early 20th century and remains relevant today.
