I am who I am, not whom you would want me to be. I do what I do, not what you would want me to do. Louis Epstein, and likeminded bigoted myopic misanthropes, are my worst nightmare. I spent many years learning to be myself, and to like myself, in the face of a society that did not accept homosexuality- provided no positive role models, nurturing, or condoning of stable relationships. Bigots can tie me to a fence and pistol whip me into a coma, as they did Matthew Shepard, but they can never make me other than I am unless they kill me.
