“A big shoutout to the museum for, you know, having that representation and telling gay stories, because history is not an accurate depiction of a sequence of events. It is actually curated stories; people choose what stories and how they get told. You know, subjectively, it’s not objective.

“I really appreciate the Smithsonian for saying, ‘Hey, this is an important story. We want to make sure this gets remembered,’ because there’s a lot of stories throughout gay history that don’t really get included. So I feel very thankful. That’s dope. I’m really pumped. I love DC, I love the Raiders, and I couldn’t be happier.”
