San Antonio, Texas (1972)
This is my 8th grade class picture from Nimitz Jr. High in San Antonio.
I saw David Cassidy and Freddy from "Scooby Doo" wearing "apache ties" and I thought they were cool. Of course, apache ties were very short.
This colorful number was actually one of my mother's scarves. But I thought I was really high fashion. Needless to say, I got picked on a lot.
I always thought boys were cute and always had girl friends. But my Southern Baptist upbringing didn't leave room for being gay.
I finally came out to myself at the age of 19 while attending Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
What the hell was I thinking?
On the up side, now that I'm an openly gay comedian, this picture is an integral part of my stand-up act.
