"The Indigo Girls’ Amy Ray once said of the Athens performer, 'Katz makes room for the evolution of a movement. He doesn’t shy away from questioning his own community and [he] has potential to be a leader to his generation of queers and a bridge to an older generation.'" In 2006, Katz/Athens Boys Choir toured and performed with Scott Turner Schofield (formerly KT Kilborn) in "The Southern Gents Tour". Athens Boys Choir was active in the 2004 fight against Georgia's Amendment 1, which banned same sex marriage. Katz and Rocket are vocal proponents of LGBT and transgender rights.
