“It’s a slow process and I have homophobic people in my family. It hurts and is really frustrating but I know that’s changing and I can see it, even in those situations. At some time in my life I have felt there’s no way their minds will ever be changed. We may never get to the same place, but things are changing. And my hope is that people will let go of the fear that they hold and the hate that they hold. We can’t force it. We can’t change people’s minds or their hearts, we can just be ourselves and keep raising awareness and be visible. I would say it’s going to take some more time and take some more fight. There’s a lot of people who are still very stuck.” Heather McEntire on growing up queer in the South, the punk scene and Mount Moriah
