"From some seventy years of personal experience, I can tell you that there is not much "gay" about being homosexual. For the first twenty years of my life, I had to live in the shadows, in a culture that was--at least outwardly--totally hostile to any hint of that variation of lifestyle...Gradually, the general attitude that I'd perceived around be began to change, and presently I find that there has emerged a distinctly healthy acceptance of different social styles of living."
