I try to bear witness to what I know you know.
— James Baldwin, "Social Change and the Writer's Responsibility"

Our country is riven by lines that separate us into groups of identity, affinity, and ideology. A little boy is born black and queer in Jackson, Mississippi. Trying to find his place in the world he commits the ultimate betrayal. 

LOVE IS A DIRTY WORD is a one-man musical and intimate account of the cost of belonging in America.
