“Against Me! lead Tom Gabel came out as transgender in the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine. The article states that Gabel has been privately dealing with gender dysphoria for years and will soon begin the process of transition via hormone and electrolysis treatments. Gabel eventually plans to take the name Laura Jane Grace and remain married to her wife Heather.”
I can barely express how much respect I have for her right now. I wish her all the success with future endeavors in AM! and otherwise.
Sorry followers!
I apologize for all my Gabel reblogging but I need to show all the support she is receiving. I love Against Me! and need to show that I also support her in her decision! it will be a long tough road but if anyone can do it, you bet your ass it’s her. Such an inspiration.
Tom Gabel, frontman and singer of one of my favorite bands Against Me! has come out as transgender, and will be undergoing a sex change. I support this completely; I had always through Gabel had these thoughts considering the lyrics in a few of his songs (The Ocean, Transgender Dysphoria Blues,…
IF ANY OF YOU FUCKING HATE ON TOM/LAURA GABEL FOR OPENLY COMING OUT AS TRANSGENDER, THEN FUCKING UNFOLLOW ME AND PERSONALLY FUCK YOURSELF
She is admirable, it doesn’t change a thing. I still love and idolize her more than ANYONE.
Huge amounts of respect towards Gabel, it takes so much courage to come out like this, especially in the punk scene that he comes from.
okay so who’s starting the “WE LOVE YOU LAURA” campaign collecting letters about how we support her (and how much her bravery means to us, too)
is it me
who’s doing it
i don’t want to do it but i’ll do it if no-one else will

Against Me is one of probably 3 bands who had the most with making me the person I am today. Tom Gabel comes out as Transgender and his plans to become Laura Jane Grace. My only hope is that his voice stays the same. But aside from that, that takes more courage than most people will ever have to muster in a lifetime. Love you forever, Laura <3
