Description

This is an interview with a gay man in his forties. In it the informant stresses his appreciation for the complexity of life, particularly the value of carefully assessing all elements of one’s identity, including regional, sexual, and gender identities, and retaining all that is positive and useful. His early years were spent in a small town in the Southern half of West Virginia and in a neighboring state. He describes adult role models, both parental and teachers, who have helped him to feel free enough to behave differently from societal norms.
