Hayden Gibson was born in Calhoun Falls, South Carolina. In this interview, Hayden shares their experiences about growing up in an adopted evangelical family, making the courageous move to New York alone, being a marshal at the NYC Dyke March, and spontaneously joining a queer band. Hayden also goes on and talks about his love for queer literature and how authors such as Walt Whitman, Alison Bechdel and Jeanette Winterson has greatly impacted their upbringing. (Summary by Trina Ngo.)
