About this deal

Compared to my parents, who were impossibly good and respectable, Granny seemed glamorous and rather naughty. I accepted this as gospel and, because both our grandfathers were already dead, I thought no more about it. It wasn’t brilliantly written, partly because it adopted a stilted tone-for-strangers quite unlike the one she used when talking to me, but there were the stories I remembered: of my great-great-grandmother and her tribe of 12 surviving children, of sadistic nursemaids, marital hypocrisy and thwarted love. Now that my mother has Alzheimer’s, her own albums have become one of the surest ways of striking sparks in her faltering mental engine. At first, I was nervous about how he’d react, but over time, I’ve come to appreciate his genuine curiosity and eagerness to learn.

I obsessively noted wild flowers and birdsong, soil types and tree species and pored over grainy old photographs of settler train interiors and surreally all-male bachelors’ balls.There was a family tradition of photography, fostered by Granny’s aunts, the Wells sisters, who were vain and fashion-conscious. Day At The Park A baby girl visiting the local public park with her two grandfathers and having fun stepping across the wall being held safely by them. families, couples, friends, siblings, singles Hand drawn images of families, couples, friends, siblings, singles. These were the real thing and, when worn by a small child, as big as motorcycle gauntlets: heavy, with furry backs and dark leather palms, perfect for terrifying me when worn with the remaining accessory, an old gas mask.

They met a year into my own marriage, at one of my father’s favorite haunts, a gay bar in West Palm Beach. There was a family tradition of photography, fostered by Granny’s aunts, who were vain and fashion-conscious’ … Gale’s great-grandmother Winifred Wells, seated far left, with her mother and sisters. When the time came to say their “I Dos”, before a smiling female judge who asked them to face one another and join hands, my father and Javier joined a small, but growing, number of legally married grandpas who have grandchildren not unlike my own children, energetic young puppy dogs armed with ready smiles — and armed with something more: endless questions.

In basing a novel on Harry’s story, I decided I must honour all the known facts, however inconvenient they might prove to my emerging plot.

At Voices, our editors invest time, care and effort to bring you stories you will not find anywhere else. But the story behind his audition song and the relationship with his gay grandfather steals the show.Enthralling and irreverent, Gale‘s granny was full of family gossip – about everyone except her father. I had to explain to him that being gay doesn’t mean we suddenly like pink or any specific color, but that people’s preferences vary just as much as they do in the straight world.

When I came out as gay to my traditional Asian family, my grandpa was the one who had the most questions. At the age of 90, he’s finally opening up about an essential part of his life that he’s long kept hidden: Felts is gay. Pappoo was sitting on the faux red leather couch, watching a Western with the sound turned up loud because he was getting hard of hearing.I'm From Driftwood is a 501(c)(3) non-profit forum for true lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer stories.
