BEING GAY, YOU MUST ALWAYS
BE ON YOUR GUARD…BEING GAY, YOU LEARN TO BE PRESENT AND INVISIBLE @ THE SAME
TIME, NEARBY WHEN THEY NEED YOU, FAR OFF WHEN THEY DIDN’T, BUT STILL CLOSE
ENOUGH IN CASE THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS…BEING GAY, YOU WERE ALWAYS RUSHING TO
OR AWAY FROM THEM…BEING GAY, YOU ARE IMMEDIATELY INSPECTED WHEN YOU ENTER A
ROOM, AS [THEY ARE] ALWAYS HOPING TO CATCH YOU WITH SOME MISSING TREASURE IN
YOUR HAND.
You can say that again. *sigh* A few weeks ago I actually stammered and panicked when a Lieutenant asked, "are you married?"
