- Thanks Ego
Thank you Ego, and thank you Billy Porter. I came out in 1984, when I was 24. I almost never talk about the holocaust of AIDS. So many friends we should be aging with are long gone, and who else can understand it? All my love.

Ego, you are scared but you are ready. Have that baby. Don’t wait too long. You don’t want to be going through menopause when your kid hits puberty
