Pepper MaShay Sings in KC!
I was so happy she was here! I was just jealous reading someone's journal who is getting her for their Gay Pride and then she was here too!
To my utter amusement, a big part of Pepper MaShay (who sings "Dive into the Pool" in Queer as Folk), spent a lot of time talking about gay pride Saturday night. She "preached" about how we had to be proud about ALL our attributes - whether they be the color of our skin (she said pointing to her cheek) or our sexual nature and how we shouldn't let anyone put us all down! She was annoyed that Bush had one ("those voting machines had to be fixed!") and that this was going to be the last season of Queer as Folk ("they caved in to the religious right!").
We was funny and sweet and incredibly talented. I had no idea! I only knew I've wanted to hear her sing that song live since Queer as Folk first came out. She rocked the fucking HOUSE!
And wonderfully, she ended her performance with "Amazing Grace" and reminding us to take PRIDE in who and what we were. The place went bonkers.
Amusement because it was really nice to see and hear someone who has been the victim of prejudice talk about the same stuff I've been talking about. She's been in the trenches and come out a victor!
CHEERS for Pepper MaShay!
