My dad viewed my masculinity, or lack thereof, in a very negative way. I don’t think he’s even out of the closet now. Our relationship was more pubescent and secretive. I did fall in love with the son of a fairly famous preacher in the area-but we did not have the big huge moment the boys have in the video. My dad ran the sports ministry and prison ministry: He was a tough dude. Michael Serrato: Yes, I grew up within an evangelical church in Long Beach, Southern California. The Daily Beast: You really did fall in love with the son of a preacher man?
