I Am - reclaiming our history, professing our presence and
celebrating our future. Imago Dei we are each the face of God if we
have been created in God's image how could we be sin personified? I am,
it is that simple.
I wrote this song almost 15 years ago as a bit of a rant. Really I am here - queer - different - the same - fragile - fragmented and strong and tired of trying to be something someone else will find acceptable. Ah well - here it goes I AM.
I hope you are too.
This song was meant to be more explicitly queer identified. (I use that word with some trepidation as I understand that it can mean different things to different people - I use it here in the context of queer being a sometimes used umbrella term for those whose sexual identity is outside perceived norms.)
The thought around naming some folks and leaving others nameless was to indeed to give names of more famous people identified as queer by a number of different sources. All of these images are from public domain sources. The images at the end of the clip are people who submitted images for this project specifically I did not receive permissions to use names there so did not include them.
