Thank you for that affirming comment. I was very concerned that I was "stepping on the toes" of a story that wasn't mine. But then I realized that perception might have been coming out of intolerant conditioning. I think a lot of straight men are conditioned to loathe themselves because of homophobia and I think that's where a lot of the violence of American society comes from.

Switching gears, there's always time to get back into theater. Heck, just go to an audition. You don't have to even commit to a whole show. I bet if you showed up at an audition you'd learn something about yourself that you need to know. Thanks again for the comment.
