If you could go back and do it again would you do anything differently?
Hard to say. I definitely would have come out of the closet sooner than I did, but it wasn't easy back in the 70's (and I never, ever would have thought we'd be seeing gay marriage in my lifetime!). Professionally, I might have stayed in journalism instead of detouring into politics and campaigns---but I probably would have ended up as either an out of work (out of business) newspaper reporter or a TV news producer who hates what TV news has become.
