No, I was so... bent on being a good person according to my socialization, the same way you were bent on being a brave, strong male according to the skateboarding culture.

And I knew he was his best self when he was his gay self. So that kind of helped, but the marriage ended because of that. Let's see what else happened. Oh, yeah, I quit academia. So my industry, the thing I'd gone to all those years of school for, my job, means of support. I left my, I was living in Utah at the time and I sort of fled for the border. So I lost my home.
