May The Angels Protect You, And Sadness

I Am Not Reinventing Myself. I Am Going Through The Layers And Revealing Myself. I Am On A Journey, An Adventure That's Constantly Changing Shape.

When I First Came Up, The Whole Aids Epidemic Was Starting, And The Gay Community That I Experienced From The Beginning Of My Career Was Mostly - And Overwhelmingly - Concerned With Staying Alive. And, Also, I Felt Really Aware Of The Preciousness Of Life And Time. The Gay Community And People Who Were Hiv-positive Were Treated So Badly, And I Was Very Disturbed By Things. But I Also Saw A Lot Of Love And Connection In The Gay Community At That Time.

I Feel Just As Hungry Today As I Did The Day I Left Home.

Looking At My Life, It's Very Clear To Me, I Lived So Selfishly.

I Don't Think I Have To Introduce Myself, Unless You Don't Recognize Me With My Clothes On.
