Description

We have no transcript, only a description in a few pages of the content of his interview with a gay man in his sixties whose childhood years were spent in an urban neighborhood in Southern West Virginia. He articulates a theme of Victorian living brought on by both his church and his mother. He carries some of these ethics into his life today, striving to present himself as an example of a gay man who is a good, quiet neighbor and community member. It was not until his marriage to a woman ended that he recognized his sexual orientation.
