Op-ed: This Trans Man Refused to Lie for American Idol

The Advocate/By Collin M. Eagen October 16 2015 5:00 AM EDT

"Like every American Idol contestant, I decided to audition for the show in order to pursue my wildest dreams of making a career out of singing. As an out trans man, I hoped that I could follow my passion while also advocating for the transgender and queer communities. But when all was said (or sung) and done, I did not fit into the narrow narrative American Idol apparently wanted to portray."

Too rarely do we remember that one cost of fame is that you lose control of your own narrative.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
