I remember watching Todd Hayne’s queer saga Velvet Goldmine for the first time at the age of 14. I remember rewinding (yes I’m as old as the VHS) and watching it a second time. I remember rewinding and watching it a third time.

I remember seeing my people for the first time.

What I found in Berlin was perfection in the imperfection. Different bodies, different movements. The feminine is the masculine. The masculine is the feminine. Neither and all.
