I felt somewhat the same way on the softball field!! Oh, by the way--do I get royalties or something for being on your blog page? Only read the first section, will comment after each. Sounds good so far.
Growing up in the boisterously butch world of Queens, New York, Vincent marched and cheered to the beat of his own drum. While most boys his age idolized athletes and action heroes, Vincent worshiped pint-sized sitcom star Gary Coleman and the devilish divas of Dynasty.
Born and raised in a conservative Italian/Irish Catholic family, Vincent struggled with being the only boy, the last of the family name and enjoying the company of men. His father, Big Vince, was a construction worker while his mother Lois, was a stay-at-home Mom. While life often resembled an episode of All In The Family, Vincent longed for the lavish lifestyle depicted on Dynasty. Well, he may not have become a Carrington, but he's certainly come a long way from the closed minded world of Queens, to an open, honest life in West Hollywood living amongst the queens.
