Pull Quote of the Week

The FAGAT Guide frequently supposes "Why You Are Gay." (Was it He-Man? Escape from Witch Mountain?)

Perhaps it was the movie Toy Soliders?

If you’re like us, the movie “Toy Soldiers” came out when you were just starting your delicate tweenage years. Maybe you were heavy, maybe you had headgear, maybe you had to wear a backbrace because you were misdiagnosed with scholiosis by your gym teacher. For whatever reason, you didn’t fit in. Later, this sense that you were the Best Supporting Actor in the movie of everyone else’s life would translate itself into a biting sense of humor and a throbbing alcohol addiction. But back then, you were just angsty.

It continues...

And yes, I had a copy of Toy Soldiers on VHS. But I taped it off cable. That should mitigate some of the shame.


Although I will now try to use "angsty" as much as possible in casual conversation.
