I want 'to be” a part of the solution, not part of the problem. I want 'to be” a member of an equitable society. I want 'to be” Hamlet again so I can say 'to be or not to be” again. I want 'to be” chock full of antibodies. I want 'to be” able to play the piano. I want 'to be” a good parent to my son and daughter, Dawson the cat and Kinley the dog. I want 'to be” in more movies/tv/theater that spread queer joy.
