my adopted butch moms who took my baby queer self in when I was 17 homeless and in need of family raised me well. Among other things, they taught me to not take shit from wannabe butches, they taught me to trust, and they taught me to adore K.D Lang. Now I'm not as big a fan of K.D as they are (I'm not sure anyone is) which is clearly why I had no idea that K.D was going to be part of the opening ceremonies for the Olympics last night until I heard the buzz about it today and had to go find a video
OMG. talk about breathtaking. Usually when I open videos of music performances I end up surfing the web and listening, not with this one. I sat in my livingroom transfixed because it for the most part wasn't full of flashy sets, or special effects it was just a powerful song sung by a butch in a suit with a killer voice. I don't know of any butch loving femme who isn't swooning by the end of that performance. I already posted a review today, so this is just a quick post to direct any butch loving femmes who like me were clearly living under a rock to go and watch this video!
