Cheers to Growing Up Gay Black Tee

Leo Herrera opens this piece with five words that hit like a toast at a reunion you didn't know you needed: Cheers to growing up Gay with a flaming capital G.

What follows is one of the most tender and precise love letters to queer childhood ever put on paper — and now on a shirt. The limp wrists in the photos. The slurs picked up, dusted off, made our own. The same-sex kiss on TV the camera panned away from. The humor so acerbic it can melt chrome. The unmistakable softness that was always there, even when the world tried to make it a liability.

This is a limited-edition collaboration between Leo Herrera — Mexican writer, artist, and activist — and Adam's Nest, Provincetown's home for queer culture and community.
