Executive summary: Fear of a Queer Planet
[1] From Interview magazine, July, 2001: "Back in 1981 I was a recent graduate of Oral Roberts University -- I had a very Pentecostal upbringing, so in my case, [AIDS] seemed to confirm the idea that there was a judgment on gays from God." He wrote in the Voice Literary Supplement, 1993, "From the religious vantage of my childhood and adolescence, I am one of Satan's agents. From my current vantage, that former self was exotically superstitious."
