Overview

I’m 51 now, and I have moved 52 times. In the 70s and 80s, I was a gay child raised mostly in the 10th circle of Hell, called Madisonville, Tennessee, where I was abused and neglected. I then went into the military for four years before Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Then, I lived as a gay man without role models, goals, or a direction. After that, I spent a long time as a caregiver to my mother.
