It was a pleasure to be a gay eyesore.

I believed I was invincible.

Gay culture is surviving and thriving. Some activists believe the recent rise in homophobic violence might be a gauge of the success of positive gay images.

David Bowie and Boy George created a safely contained theatrical expression of gay style.

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.

I am now faced with mortality. Definitely not the most generous move.
