I Thought, Transgender People Are Much Worse

Obviously The Transgender Movement Has Not Progressed In The Way That The Gay And Lesbian Movement Has. But Im An Activist - Thats Just The Kind Of Person I Am.

Deep Down, My Mom Had Long Suspected I Was Gay... Much Of Her Anger And Hurt Came From Her Sense Of Betrayal That She Was The Last To Be Told.

So When I Was About 13 Or 14, I Realized I Was Attracted To Women And Then Made The Assumption That I Was A Lesbian, And Didn't Realize That That Wasn't The Case. It Was The Fact That I Was A Man And A Heterosexual Man. The Issue Wasn't My Sexual Orientation, But Rather My Gender Identity.

I Don't Have The Luxury Of Doing Things Privately.

I Wanted To Show America A Different Kind Of Man. If There Was Someone Like Me When I Was Growing Up, My Whole Life Would Have Been Different.
