The Advocate, Pride Roundup, June 2005
Namoli Brennet
Arizona-based singer-songwriter Namoli Brennet sings about her transgender experience to mixed audiences all year round. But at pride performances—and she’s playing at least four this June throughout the Northeast—her audience connects more viscerally. “The struggle with gender presentation is such a big part of being gay or lesbian,” she says. “But transgender is probably 30 years behind where gay and lesbian issues are. People don’t necessarily get it or know what it is, but they’re coming around.” —S.M.
