"And the minute you start segmenting people into tiny groups, subgroups, and saying 'You guys are this and you are guys are that,' and ostracizing different groups of people and not allowing us to all share in our experiences together, I think it's incredibly dangerous." For Ferguson, it's incredibly important to help foster a community that emphasizes representation so that his kids can grow up to see their family reflected in the culture they consume.
"He seems them as fascinating creatures almost like fairies and dragons and wizards in the same way that he looks at storybook characters," the dad of two says, sharing that his boys particularly love the book "The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish Swish." "I love taking him to theater. I love taking him to art. He's a sponge for it and it's really exciting to see," the proud dad continues. "And I think he's responding to it because it's available to him. I love that we live in a city with so much great stuff for kids and so much great art and stuff that isn't been taken away or censored."
