As I've noted here before I was raised in a home with my mom, her partner and her daughter, and my two sisters. We got to see my dad for 1 afternoon a week and that was basically go outside and play so I can court my new young hot wife. I seriously don't remember a single time we tossed a ball or watched a game together. I was picked on relentlessly at school because my mom was "queer" and my home life was even more depressing because of physical and emotional abuse.
In very quick succession I landed a lucky punch in a schoolyard fight and split a kids face open, discovered Led Zeppelin, and decided to learn the guitar. Almost overnight it seemed I earned respect and became cool. I probably overcompensated a bit macho wise during my teen years but heck, I'd earned it I guess based on how ****ty things had before before then.
I don't have a gay cell in my body but I'm about as far from homophobic as a person can be. I love sports - but that's just about a birthright based on my Boston roots. I will not take **** from anyone except my wife and I've always given 100% at trying to be the best father possible.
I haven't a clue what all of the above has to do with the OP but that's all I got at the moment.
