For the last six months of my time in the United States Air Force, I was openly gay. Even the officers in the laboratory and all my fellow airmen knew I was gay.
Compared to the dangerous, rage-filled military of today, where even the hint of homosexuality will get one badly beaten or savagely murdered, mine were almost halcyon days as an openly gay Airman First Class, where my boyfriend and I could be together and everybody in my flight knew about us. They could have been halcyon days, that is, if it hadn't been for the madness of the war and the schizophrenia of the American public over that southeast Asian conflict; and it hadn't been for the wife I left back home and the child we had. What should have been idyllic days of my youth spent proudly ser | |  | | The Blind Season: Common Threads in the Life

"Uncle Sean sure is pretty, but there's something wrong with him, anyway," writes 14-year-old Will Barnett, unable to understand the feelings that seize him when he first lays eyes on his troubled uncle. Just how troubled his uncle is becomes one of the things Will Barnett seeks to find out; why he falls in love with him is the other.
The way certain materials came into my possession (including a Big Chief Tablet, a letter, dog tags from the Vietnam Era, and a spiral notebook) is somewhat startling. I was tearing down an old barn twenty miles south of Hachita, New Mexico, just west of the Big Hatchet mountains, where a long-time-ago farm had passed into oblivion. When the barn was merely a skeleton of itself, I was standing inside the slatted shadows cast by the remaining rafters, when a box fell the nearly thirty feet to the pile of rubbish in the middle of the floor.
