HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE GAY
* you are gay pictures *
Me, molg a swimsu that I ma, June 24, 1977, In Hayward, three and a half months before I really entered the "Gay World.
Qutn #9: Have you suffered prejudice or vlence bee you are gay?
Maybe bee I chose a profsn that obvly has gay people , or maybe bee I was mascule enough to “pass” my earlier years (I did not e “out” to anyone except a few llege iends who found out until I was 26).
YOU ARE GAY MEMCHECKMATE.
Back the 1970s, though, when gay issu were jt beg addrsed a sensive way, even at a school as liberal as UC Santa Cz many people ma sni gay jok, and my small llege of 450 or so stunts, faculty and staff, your bs uld be everyone’s bs. But there have been a few tim when I have enuntered prejudice- here are some I remember tonight: In my hman and sophomore years of high school, bee I liked books and hated sports and hung out wh lots of girls (and nerdy guys), “ol” guys would sometim make fun of me. One particular moment that has lasted wh me was when I was a sophomore, and a really ol and popular junr named “Dave” (the olr brother of two of my clost iends school, when I was a senr, as happened, but that’s another story), was asked, our Spanish class, to scribe, Spanish, someone else the class.
He told me the basic “I love you but I am not love wh you and am not gay” le, and told me that gayns was not the bt terts of blogy or DNA transmissn (I was a science llege, remember), so had to be an aberratn, and I had better “get help and get cured” if I wanted him to stay my life. ” Anyway, eventually Don took me asi one day and nfsed that he, too, was gay, that his roommate was jt that, but his bt iend, and he had been g her as a ver for the fay. One time, at work, Don and I were discsg gog up wh iends to a special party at Stud One Wt Hollywood (the major gay dis, but some straight, hip, people went there, too, if they uld get ).
