Singer Mira Glitterhound explains the story behind Bigotry And Barbecue below

Bigotry And Barbecue came out of a painful experience, where a friend and I were chased through Portland’s industrial district by two men yelling slurs, one of whom had a knife. A couple weeks later I wrote this song, placing Glitter & Blood’s central character Desmond in the same scenario. This was a turning point in my writing, where I started to use the vampire’s powers as an instrument of Queer empowerment
