Reformed golden boy. Almost. Los Angeles 🏳️‍🌈

Tell Me I’m Beautiful Where the din of the lunchroom is replaced by the chirps and hum of a dial-up modem. The clack of a keyboard. The ding of a new message. Where hallways and classrooms give way to forums and Yahoo chat rooms. And the boys are grown men. #gay #queer #lgbtq
