The exhausting business of being extraordinary.
I've come to a rather peculiar realization. I'm not entirely certain I'm gay.
In this first video edition of Chrismissives, I'm exploring the distinction between homosexuality as an individual experience and the gay community as a collective identity. Along the way, I question why homosexual people have so often felt compelled to be exceptional simply to be accepted, and whether the very communities created to celebrate individuality sometimes demand conformity of their own.
A little humour, a little provocation, and some inspiration from the extraordinary James Baldwin.
