Twenty fuckin' years.

I don’t know WHY it’s just hitting me today but 1/31 was the 20th anniversary of my gay-bashing.  Twenty fuckin’ years.  Twenty years, since I walked jauntily around my environs and enjoyed life the way a man should.  Twenty years since I eeked out a living as writer, living mostly off  of Scott’s money, though I  told myself it was off my living as a writer.
