I am now faced with mortality. Definitely not the most generous move.
One result of An American Family was that I became a gay role model.
Proclaiming a sexual preference is something that straight men never really have to bother with.
I believed I was invincible.
My reasons for declaring a sexual preference had to do less with the pursuit of personal freedom than with the lust for pure shock value.
Sexuality is a private matter; some believe that broadcasting it destroys the very things that make it sacred.
