Roxy were my examples of gay life I might have gone right back into the closet. But rhis is not to say that I am nostalgic for 'the old days'. We were in more danger then, and speaking for myself, I was much lonelier. To have been out in my high school was an impossibility and the term 'gay rights' was an oxymoron. I do get some email from those boys who admit how strange their muscled world really is.
Uniformity can be a blissful escape from the torture of having a discriminating mind.
You have a web site filled with pictures of yourself and statements like - 'sometimes the surface is more important than what's real'. An obvious hyperbole. Let me be clear here, also, in saying that many persons labeled 'Chelsea boys' are superkind, funny, and intelligent. I don't ever mean to generalize. Plenty of them are friends of mine but they, too, often see how silly and monotonous gay culture can be.
