I was denied a certian aspect of my life becsuse of Reagan.
If i came out in my fucking northeast texas hell in the 1980's id be fucking dead at this point. Newer generations have ZERO idea the fear i went through. If i slipped up in my act, i was dead. I dated the "ugly chicks" to keep up apperances. I couldnt get an erection because i was gay. To the "ugly chicks" parents i was a catch. I had to fucking play games.
If i was found out, my corpse would have been floating in the Red River. It was a matter of survival...
All i wanted was a boyfriend. I have that now but i fucking wasted 30 years of my life
Let that sink in. 30 fucking years. There were two men in my life, one black, one asian. Both of them i could have spent the rest of my life with. I was entirely too scared to make the first move. Love at first sight...
Both of them perfect, denied because of republican bullshit
I want future generations to have it beter..
