Sometimes they were both supportive and cruel. My teachers were supportive or cruel, depending on my classes. By the end of school I had lovely, wonderful friends. I sang, played instruments, spoke languages, invented languages with my brothers, and lovers. People threw rocks at me, so I made them laugh a lot. The gay scene in New York is supportive, judgmental, warm hearted, bitchy, uplifting and mean. I think the season for challenging who I am is almost over, or, more to the point – the season for me paying attention to naysayers is coming to a close. I don’t like wearing them because my goodies get cold from the wind. I’m a performer, so sometimes I get to put on dresses.
