Discredit

These were not wayward, damaged boys. They were athletes. Leaders. Popular, college-bound, bright-futured kids. Boys so unimpeachably straight that there was no way you could imagine them doing the things they were supposed to have done with Tony Stancl.

Gay panic plagues GQ at every corner, even in work by an writer who can be so thoughtful, adroit, and expansive in his conception of adolescence. Contemporary GQ that is or, as Kenneth says, GQ after its pages ceased to include ads for bathhouses. Wayward and damaged, I can all too easily imagine athletes, leaders, popular, college-bound, bright-futured boys doing the things they were supposed to have done with Tony Stancl.

Whatever else he may be, Tony Stancl is an opportunist. He rode the big wave that more and more kids ride, out to a place where every flesh-and-blood kid is also a phantom, where adolescence isn't so lonely, where you don't have to wonder, Isn't there anybody who wants what I want?

First Regular @ New Location


That's right, friends. Here on Orchard Drive, we're cooking with electricity. I'm slowly adapting. I miss the gas, but I like electricity for boiling, frying, and the ease of clean-up.

Left behind by former tenants.


The jar is ours. I decided we could use this couscous, which
they left in a plastic bulk bag.. We met the former tenants, so
this seems okay, right?
