This one is going to hit more in the feels for me. I still feel bad about how everything played out. This is probably more of a confession than a gonewildstory, but there are hot parts to this story if you read it all the way through. I was inspired recently to finally write this all out.
It was the late 90’s and early 2000’s in NJ. I was always with the punk and alternative cliche. I wasn’t really one of them truly, I floated from group to group like a feather in the breeze because I did sports, band, science clubs, commission art and had my own metal bands. I never really fit in anywhere or identified with anyone else strongly, so it made sense that the “friends” I spent the most time with were misfits. It was a strange time when you couldn’t make fun of homosexuals anymore, but people still really understand their place in society yet. Queer Eye For The Straight Guy hadn’t even come out yet. “Transexual” wasn’t even a term most people knew about. They were just “crossdressers” to most people. To Wong Foo, Rupaul, and Meshach Taylor from all those 80’s movies were the only exposure that most people had any experience with.
