Bradley

Bradley, age 5

Wisconsin (1977)

"No one was betting on me growing up to be a lumberjack!"

Even at this age, I know I was listening to a lot of Blondie.

And I wanted to be Debbie Harry.

At the time, my best pal was a girl named Rhonda who used to play cars with me.

She later came out, too.

It wasn't long after this that I had a crush on a boy, probably around the 4th grade.

This is one of my favorite pics of me as a kid.
And it's actually one of my mom's favorites, too.

Bradley's first, famous-person same sex crush:

Rick Springfield
