Laura Jane Grace debuts in San Diego

Rolling Stone has reported that Laura Jane Grace, made her debut last Friday in San Diego for the first time since coming out as transgender. It was Against Me!'s first stop on the month-long US tour with The Cult.

Rolling Stone reports:

The quartet played six new songs, including the rollicking anthem "Transgender Dysphoria Blues," the title track of an album they're working on. Decked out in a loose-fitting black tank top, tight black jeans and black eye shadow, Grace was in high spirits as she delivered her trademark, throat-shredding screams. [...]

Thanks to the outdoor venue's seating arrangements, a mosh pit never did break out during the set, but a handful of fans got up to sing along. When Grace belted out the lines to "The Ocean," a revealing track from the band's 2007 album New Wave – "If I could have chosen / I would have been born a woman" – fans broke into cheers and applause.
