It's making me so happy and emotional seeing how happy she is. This is such a great fan moment to see such a monumental album celebrated the way it deserves to be.
Since everyone else is posting their relationship with this album....this came out when I was a closeted 19 year old trying as hard as I could to fit in with the straights. I hadn't even actually accepted my sexuality yet, and tried to pretend it wasn't there .....but this album, and following everything she was doing that era, felt like such a safe space. It was was place I could privately turn to, enjoy immensely, and feel more comfortable with myself in. The message of this album truly did help me on my journey of growth and self discovery, it was something I needed to hear in that moment and helped make me less afraid to be who I am. It makes me so happy to see it celebrated and relived 10 years later, where I can fully enjoy it without shame. The cultural impact it has had continues to live on and it makes me such a proud fan.
