Executive summary: Far From Heaven

[1] Blase DiStefano, interview, "Briefs, Barbies, and Beyond", OutSmart magazine, 15 August 1995: "I really didn't know I was gay when I was growing up... I knew when I was in high school, but I didn't know when I was a child, or I didn't call it that. It was tough on my parents -- their difficulty was more the difficulty that very progressive, liberal-thinking parents encounter when their own child brings information home that they've always been saying is completely fine."
