“How long were you married?”
“Well that’s hard to answer because we didn’t get divorced until the 80’s. I called him one time, I used to always call him, and one of his boyfriends, John, told me he was out with ‘that bitch Stephanie’-“
“Who’s Stephanie?”
“I’m bout to tell ya. So he pulls up at that moment and comes and gets on the phone and says, ‘Donna, I’m glad I caught you. I’m getting married.’ And gay people couldn’t get married back then so I thought maybe him and John were having some sort of ceremony so I said, ‘John didn’t say anything about it’ and he said, ‘That’s because I’m not marrying John, I’m marrying Stephanie.’ Then I started laughing, but he wasn’t laughing so I stopped and said ‘You have my congratulations or deepest sympathies, whichever one fits.’ When he was walking down the aisle all the hair dressers were in church asking, ‘If he was gonna be with a woman, why didn’t he stay with Donna? She was cool.’ My kids were all traumatized and they asked me, ‘Mom, you’re not going straight are you?’ I told them, ‘Oh baby, you’re daddy’s confused, I’m not’.”
