Against Me singer, Laura Jane Grace, makes debut

I love this story.

A few weeks ago it was announced that the lead singer of Against Me! had come out as trans and had started transitioning. The singer, who had chosen the name Laura Jane Grace, came out in an article in Rolling Stone. Last Friday, Grace performed for the first time since delivering the news. According to Rolling Stone:

“The quartet played six new songs, including the rollicking anthem
“Transgender Dysphoria Blues,” the title track of an album they’re
working on. Decked out in a loose-fitting black tank top, tight black
jeans and black eye shadow, Grace was in high spirits as she delivered

her trademark, throat-shredding screams.”

Bon courage, Laura Jane. Keep ‘em coming, and keep ‘em strong.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
