“Because, you know, it’s not somebody’s child, but it’s a lesbian who has died. It’s not somebody’s child, but it’s a gay person that has died. So the neighbours sit back – unlike with any other funeral. But we show up."
Love your work @CarlCollison

Tracey Rose to @CarlCollison: "... like where do coloured people go to twasa? We’ve got every fucking gene in our DNA. Like, what strand do you follow? And then you’ve also got the slave trader and the slave in your DNA."
