Antonio and I bullied everyone into voting for Glory/Us as the @chicagocritics Audience Choice Award!

That’s what we do. Indoctrinating the youth with the gay agenda. Thank you to everyone who came out and watched us talk about holes. 🕳️

I’m so grateful that people received our slut themed movie with nuance and conversation. Queer sex is more than just sex- it’s a means of connection, community, and self love. Cue single tear.
