as doris was was always at his shows when doris was and the gay pride parades they were called mardi grasparades in. his mother was on the float. so there was and one of the one of the things i'm writing about in the book, one of my theories about what happened that time was that goes back to stonewall and the events of gay liberation in the late sixties and seventies and. it's this we have read many stories about kids who were rejected by their families for being. and those stories are true. and it happened. and we know we've read those stories. but my impression and i have no figures to back this up is that there were a lot people like me and like doris and like silvana, whose parents and families totally accepted them. and so my own belief is that stonewall came about because my own generation had grown up without shame about sexuality. my parents didn't raise me to think it would be okay to be gay, but they did raise me to have a really positive attitude about sex. and i think that's true of a lot of people and, my generation. interesting. yeah. that it's nice to have another narrativ
