desertrose Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Juan Lopez, Staff Writer June 13, 2014 Filed under Arts & Entertainment, Music, Top Stories In honor of LGBT Pride, I am taking the liberty to showcase one of the most overlooked albums that has a queer positive view. To think of the monstrously successful Green Day album “Dookie” as overlooked in any way I’m sure may seem a stretch, but the album strikes into the mainstream from the outskirts with the power of a legion of outsiders crashing through the gates of the mainstream. “Dookie” acts as an identifier for those who feel left out, overlooked, and unwanted. Just as in “Paradise,” those people are welcomed into the fold to learn how to deal with being an outsider and learning to deal with oneself and getting through it, to see that there is a place for everyone and it does gets better. Which is more than can be said about the band’s fluctuating quality over the years.
