Kevin

Kevin, age 6
Stamping Ground, KY (1970)

So this is me in 1970. I was 6 years old in this picture and the red hair just made me the class clown. This was taken at Stamping Ground Elementary, in a tiny town in a Baptist Community. I knew I was gay at 13 when I was attracted to Alan, my next door neighbor.


I actually was nearly killed in the yard of the old church in town by another boy throwing rocks up at the roof.

He had broken a piece of slate off and that struck me in the head from 30 feet up. So I had a "Damien" complex with the Baptist Church from then on...


To this day, anyone who makes fun of religion tickles me.

Kevin's first, famous-person same sex crush:
Robert Conrad (in "The Wild, Wild West")
Any episode with him tied up...
