The straight community has been as welcoming to us as the gay community. We've been lucky enough to be accepted at Folsom Street Fair, but we haven't played the Castro Street Fair or Gay Day or the Dyke March. We actually play to more straight people. We don't usually play with other gay bands. Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem to be as big of an issue for gay women as it would be for gay men because in the straight community gay women are more accepted.
Straight men are scared of gay men.
But the Bay Area is so mixed it's hard to tell who's in the audience. And some of the things Kelly writes about, domestic violence for instance, they're more social issues. But the album doesn't seem like a downer. No, we try to put a positive slant on it. Yeah, I'd say so.
