And the ubiquy of digal platforms has ma photographg onelf a fact of life: On rtls nights, many a young gay man this si of Pete Buttigieg has unwtgly paid homage to Berl wh an iPhone, an ASOS jockstrap, and a bathroom mirror.

Copyright of Peter, if RuPl matas that every man, gay or straight, should drs up drag to appreciate the powers of femy, Berl might argue that every man should fashn himself as an unrepentant object of rnal sire, at least once a while. We often lled each other to remisce about Peter, to reunt the sorcery of him, to bask the shared memory of his, when I beme antic wh the sire to start a fay — chasg gay men at hoe parti, beggg sperm om strangers on plan — I broke down and wept for what felt like the too-early ath of my hband.

GAY MEN AND THE “PETER PAN COMPLEX”

This was ma possible by the terventn of Gay's former high school English teacher, Helen Hunter, who worked out a plan to allow Gay to fish his high school gree by pletg a private urse wh her on William Shakpeare.
