Oh, that is unbelievably tender and touching.

Yes.

Yeah, and it wasn't necessary to film it, you know.

I think it was Fienneserbe, you know, like a fine herb omelette.

Yeah, oh, earlier than that.

I think by 1972 I was out.

You know, honestly, it was a nothing.

I mean, I just always have been—we mentioned in the very beginning about physical limitations and age limitations.

And so I've been gay, I'm sure, if I really could dig it back, since fifth grade.

But, you know, in my own mind, knowing it and being able to speak it out, it was when I was about 21, which was the early 70s.

And I've never had a problem.

I was out at ABC Sports.

Nobody had a problem with me because I refused to let there be a problem.

I'm not going to walk into a room, you know, with some sort of inferiority feeling like, oh, my God, I'm I'm a woman.

So I don't believe I don't deserve to be in this room of sports guys or I'm gay.

So I shouldn't let that be seen among all these straight married people.

I just, you know, as I said in the beginning, I find that all bullshit.

Was she cool with it?

Yes and no.
