Proclaiming A Sexual Preference Is Something That

My Gayness Became Quietly Accepted And, Shock Of All Shocks, Life Went On.

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.

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.

I Am Now Faced With Mortality. Definitely Not The Most Generous Move.

Coming Out Is A Means Of Redefining Oneself, Of Claiming Membership In A Lifestyle And A Social Order With Distinct Values. Chief Among These Values Is Honesty.
