Honesty, Innocence and the Gay Sensibility

Close your eyes and come with me to the early 2000s: Ashley Tisdale was taking over the red carpet, the iPod was being introduced to the world and your cool older cousin was making posts on Myspace; meanwhile, in Guatemala, a baby boy was learning how to give his first steps.  In today's episode I talk about my childhood and how growing up I was surrounded by the female sensibility, which encouraged and nourished my inner emotional world.
