The twins that I love

“Once, Tegan told me, a man came up to her to say that her example had helped him come to grips with his own sexuality, and eventually led him to come out, late in life. He'd seen her not just as a celebrity, but as someone who had been true to herself when the stakes were high. The image that man saw of Tegan wasn't the way she saw herself, not exactly, but the gulf between her and the version of her that he saw seemed full of potential, like something she could use to make the world more fair.”

Sara spoke slowly, and she's quieter, more pensive. Often her eyes became fixed on some spot above her and to the right, like she was searching for the right words to finish her thought, and when she did speak, it was with a deliberateness and intensity that suggested she really meant what she was saying.”

“They've both been out and proud for their whole career, risking discrimination and dismissal in an era when gay rights were not as well established as they are now, and in an industry that can still be hostile to lesbian artists. Their example paved the way for others to follow in their footsteps: It's hard to imagine that queer acts like Hayley Kiyoko or King Princess would be able to have the careers they do without Tegan and Sara first forging a path for them.”

“Tegan and Sara have a deep interest in their teenage years; they talked to me about this time in their lives with an enthusiasm that can sound like longing. Back then, they were less worldly, more innocent, and they see it as being when their newfound relationships to music, sex, and psychedelic drugs seemed to merge in their minds into a single blur of world-expanding potential.”

“In a way, there are multiple Tegans and multiple Saras, living in their songs, in magazine stories, in the minds of their fans. Among all of these selves, the sisters can feel lost, like they're trapped in a hall of mirrors.”
