For Hawkins, coming out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community was done “in a way that nobody had done before,” she explained in a telephone interview from her home in Manhattan.
Hawkins, who is best known for the single “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover,” will perform at the Spring Hill Arts Gathering in New Preston on Saturday as part of the event’s Pride in the Hills night. SHAG runs for two weekends.
