What I love about Patrick's story is how his gay themed country music was the natural result of a country boy just using the platform he knew best to tell real stories about real people. The irony of "gay country" isn't contrived. It's as authentic as gay couples getting married and raising children; simply being who we are. Congratulations Patrick on finally achieving the recognition you deserve. I wish I'd known about you and your music years ago.

Patrick was also one of the core members of Seattle ACT-UP and helped establish the syringe exchange back in early 1989. He's truly amazing.
