Episode 084–Kai Mata “So Hard” Video and Upcoming Album with Bruce Hilliard

In Kai's words: When I come out everyday to new acquaintances, I'm fortunate to be met with acceptance. Thanks to the effort and risks members of the LGBTQ+ Community before me, I reap the benefits, having never felt fear holding hands with a woman in public, nor having ever been the target of a hate crime. The laws are growing more accepting our love, with same-sex marriage legalized in 27 different countries and counting. Now, in the eyes of society, it's time for our love to be more than merely accepted. It's time for love to be valued for its intricacies and depth. Happy Pride Month. I hope this song and video shows it doesn't have to be so hard seeing two girls in love. So Hard Come and hear the words they say. “Are you bi or are you gay?” “Oh, how I thought you were straight.” “What a pity; such a shame.” “You both look so feminine.” “Don't you miss it with a man?” “With two girls, how does 'that' work?” “Because I can always be your third.” Well, I'll answer all your questions, Though I know it won't fit in your fantasy. Despite the ego telling you, Our bedroom does not want your company. So go and lust, and fantasize, But nothing more despite your tries. I don't need a di.....ctator to tell me what I need. Thank you to the following who took the time and effort to appear in the video: Maeve Nelligan, Dia Michelle Smith, Purnama Melissa Keller, Jamie, Anisha, Katie Barbaro, Fabian Racuk, Prita Tanaya, Leo Rising, Lacicke Wensday, Domi.
