ÒI know you are probably questioning who I am; I want you to know that you know me very well. You see me every day, as soon as you walk out the house. Sometimes I am the first guy you see when you get up in the morning. Do you know who I am now? I am your husband, your brother, your best friend, your roommate, your father, your doctor or even your lawyer. I am your cousin, your carpenter, the delivery boy and your pastor. I am the bank teller, your childÕs teacher, and I am even your part time lover. Are you still questioning who I am? HavenÕt you found it out yet? Okay, I will tell you, I AM GAY.Ó
