Faggots

by Larry Kramer

10: I have a bad relationship with my body and need constant re-affirmations by a bevy of parading beauties that I Am Hot; 11: The World, and God, say I must not be; 12: I’m afraid of the Outside World and its Responsibilities, plus 97 others, ((… but what if I was just born responding to cock and ass, like Ben was born responding to tit and cunt? … what if all those neurotic Reasons were just post-natal … re-adjustments? …)), plus other questions, or rather, the same question asked a number of different ways: why can’t I get out of this life style that is going crazier and more out of control and more mad, and legitimized!, by the minute?, is it just a reluctance to leave the familiar and fear of exploring the new and different?), this way had also not yet revealed to his satisfaction why it continued to localize its revenge on his stomach and its adjoining tributaries.
