“It was because of hardcore that I internalized the idea that being proud of who you are, whoever you are, is an instrument of survival. That self-worth, and not nihilism, is a punk principle. Someday, I thought, someone would sing a song about being proud to be queer and it would be hardcore as fuck.” -Norman Brannon
