In the past, Brent was quite negative on the idea of nonbinary genders and non-normative pronouns, but his husband encouraged him to be open-minded. Brent has said, "I have yet to finish an interview without learning something new about gender, and how every person has a uniquely different story and description of their gender. I was surprised to learn that some use several sets of pronouns, and how truly fluid gender is. No one is an expert on someone else’s gender, or what gender means to someone else. Everyone is also always growing and changing."<ref name="Lien">{{Cite web |title=The They/Them Project: An Interview with Brent Dundore |first=Andy |last=Lien |work=Lavender Magazine |date=8 June 2017 |access-date=9 April 2020 |url=https://www.lavendermagazine.com/our-affairs/the-theythem-project-an-interview-with-brent-dundore/ |archive-date=20 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210620161412/https://lavendermagazine.com/our-affairs/the-theythem-project-an-interview-with-brent-dundore/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
