Sandra Azcarate has never considered herself “mainstream.”

She listens to The Ramones and The Sex Pistols, likes artsy movies and intellectual conversations and grew up in Peru — so there are a lot of aspects of American society she says she’ll never understand.

She said she hoped to find a place in the Denver area’s GLBT community but was disappointed to find that most of the people she met were “just as mainstream as everyone else.”

Then she met Angela Palermo, a transsexual woman who shared her love of punk-rock bands and political issues.
