From some seventy years of personal experience, I can tell you that there’s not much “gay” about being homosexual. For the first twenty years of my life, I had to live in the shadows, in a culture that was — at least outwardly — totally hostile to any hint of that variation of life-style. At no time did I choose to adopt any protective coloration, though; my cultivation of an abundant beard was not at all a deception, but part of my costume as a conjuror.

Well, actually, I do, Buff, which is why I highlighted the portion I did. I think it's pretty sad that any man should have to wait until he's 81 years old to feel safe about "coming out".

Unfortunately we live in a society where homosexuality is still stigmatized.
