Philip K. Dick:

I didn't see any reason then i don't see any reason now i didn't think it was my boss his business but I knew some very very fine poets u there in the Bay Area poets. that are really some of America's finest poets. and I was very proud of them as my friends. and um they they wanted me to be gay. and I didn't want to be gay. so they they thought they thought I was strange because I was not gay. and the people in my store thought I was strange because I knew gay people and because I read books.
