00:00This is what everyone thinks gay people are like.

00:04This is what gay people are like?

00:06Some.

00:07Hmm. And some are stubborn.

00:09I'm a Taurus.

00:13I don't know. It's like the ever-expanding title of our community.

00:16LGBTQ plus YZX plus plus plus plus.

00:20Oh.

00:21How can we be one thing when we're expected to be everything?

00:24Hmm. I am so glad that I brought you here.

00:27Listen.

00:29When I got outed from the show,

00:32I was charged with perverting some kind of idea or image.

00:36I mean, we were the first Latino family on primetime TV.

00:39Yeah, major.

00:40But Freddy Cruz suddenly was a queer, so that was it. It was done.

00:46Nothing else mattered.

00:47All of a sudden, this is how they saw me.

00:50I wasn't a person anymore. I was provocative.

00:53I'm really sorry that that happened to you.

00:55That must have been really hard.

00:58Mm. It sucked.

01:04When I was 12, I found this book of Mabel Thorpe photographs

01:09at a bookstore in St. Louis.

01:11My mom was there, so I had to, like, rush to get it back on the shelf.

01:15I didn't want her to see me looking at it.

01:17I had all these dreams about these pictures and these men.

01:21I dreamt that I was in leather.

01:24I was determined to find another copy of this book.

01:27So I went to the library in the city where my mom worked,

01:31and...

01:33there it was.

01:36And then when it was time to leave,

01:40I stole the book.

01:44You stole it?

01:45I didn't.

01:46I mean, technically I wasn't stealing.

01:48My tax dollars were paying for it, but...

01:51You were 12.

01:53Yeah, so?

01:54You weren't paying any taxes.

01:56Some of us.

02:00And these photos shaped the idea of me.

02:05You know?

02:07It was kind of all I had.

02:09It's all there was.

02:12Well, at least now I know where your thankful leather originated.
