Trapped: Memoirs of a Gay Boy in the Fifties and Sixties
Experience:
- The wonder of the earliest childhood memories.
- The delight of the unexpected discovery and joy of sexual feelings and sexual play.
- The overwhelming power of first love.
- The brutal and completely unexpected shock of homosexual insight.
- The unrelenting prejudice and judgment of a hostile society.
- The persistent and literally paralyzing fear of exposure.
- The profound sadness of loneliness and of alone knowing what I was.
- The unquenchable fear of complete separation from God's love.
- The hopelessness of a child facing eternal damnation.
- The chronic persistent worry of what family, friends, and peers would think of me and do if my cover was ever blown.
- Sexual abuse: unendurable confusion and loss of innocence
- Spiritual explosion: understanding, gratitude, and peace
This is a letter to the heterosexual world toward understanding and acceptance on behalf of present and future generations of gay children.
