Tom and Dean

"Tom and Dean" is a beautiful song composed by our very own Dr. Gerald Gurss for our Pride concert, "This is Me." The song is inspired by a true, local story at the intersection of queer culture and body image, specifically the image of those who have lost limbs. Hear Dr. Gurss talk about his piece, "Tom and Dean," and the true, inspirational story of our friends Tom DeGree and Dean Schlaak.
