Intergenerational conversations
Dez Soriano: When did you start finding LGBTQ communities?That was a problem, but one thing was fortunate: My sister went to Fashion High , so she brought back gay guys from school and the family was told, "The guy's gay, so don't embarrass me. Please try and make them feel comfortable." Of course, we all agreed.
Anything I could. It didn’t matter if it was negative, when you're so desperate to see something about yourself. Even in the movies: I found it very difficult to dislike movie villains — not that I admired their character, but they were gay.It was saying that there are people like me out there. I knew some people like me would be bad, so it didn't bother me that they were villains.
Dez: I can relate to that. Were there any other patterns that you saw? A big issue for young queer people my age, especially in an urban area like New York City, is substances that are targeted to a queer lifestyle and especially to gay men. I wanted to know if there were patterns like that, whether substances or other things that you saw that were very in your face — something that was universally responded to like, "Okay, we understand that this is a problem.
One inclusive perception of what being gay meant really didn't work for anybody. I didn't wear a suit. They didn't wear any makeup. Even the gay world was binary. You were butch or femme.The city was a remarkable city. It was exciting, romantic, and dark. But we didn't really have a turf. In the '60s, turf was very important; that's the place you were safe, the place you were at home in the street. We didn't have that. We were the twilight people.
Not these other people. They were hounded. How they took it? I don't know. I know that people are hounded now, so I know what it is. It's relentless and it's cruel; they think of ways of mentally torturing you. Ugly, really ugly.
