Tom Gabel of Against Me! announces she(he) is Transgendered
All I can say is omg… Against Me! has been one of my fav bands for years, but Tom or Laura does actually reference this in the album New Wave – (song) The Ocean..
Well it gives this ‘ol punk rocker’ a push in the positive direction.

Hee hee – 31’s not that old … Went out dressed to see Against Me in Newcastle last year. It was a great gig & very friendly crowd. I hope Laura decides to keep the band together.

Yeh I hope they – Against Me! keep it going with Laura still fronting the band, she is there song writer..
Just been on the AM! facebook fan page and must admit it’s quite moving seeing the fans stand by her, and what a ‘voice’ for the LGBT community as well she will be I’m the future..

Been debating with myself where to post this decided to follow it on this one..
The news of this (about Laura) has pretty much done to me, what I would assume she intended it to do for some (as in being so public with her announcement). Would be to inspire people. Well it has me, I’ve been at war with myself to where/how I want to go with my inner feelings for many many yr’s and more so recently.
And Laura’s recent announcement has pretty well much given me the proverbial kick up the ‘a’.. Over the last week I have come out to some close friends with my intention to in the future under go transition ( they have been, much to my surprise, absolutely awesome about it ) Also have set the goal for when I see my brother in a few weeks time to tell him, this for me will be my ultimate hurdle..
Much love to Laura for doing this not only for herself but for the many like myself she has inspired..AM! – Bamboo Bones – ‘…What God doesn’t give to you. You have to go get for yourself.’

Never cared for the band myself, but it is an extremely courageous step for Laura to take. For the most part reactions have been positive…so let’s hope it stays that way and opens up the door for others to be themselves…
