MoMA closets Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. Why?

Featuring art culled from the museum’s permanent collection, “Johns and Rauschenberg” focuses on works painted by each artist during the mid to late 1950s, using Robert Rauschenberg’s recently acquired Canyon as a centerpiece. The introductory placard describes the two artists as being “in dialogue with one another,” explaining how their works from this period led the way “beyond Abstract Expressionism” and toward Pop Art.

Even though the story is kind of boring (comparatively), I remember it as if it were yesterday. I knew then that it didn’t matter what my sexuality was; my mom and family would always love me for who I am.

People called me a dude and said there was no way I could be a woman. (That’s nothing compared with the horrendous things people call me online today — if you don’t believe me, look at the comments about me on Twitter and Instagram.)
