Junior, 1995.

I do feel sad because I won't be able to have a family... That's the only regret I have. I know I'll be a good husband and a good father. But I can't. I donåt have... I can't now.

Junior
August 3, 1995
Junior's Apartment
Upper Tenderloin, San Francisco
Junior's younger brother Bunso is present.

Bunso: Steven asked me, "What did you think when he told you about us?" I was like, damn, I don't want to get my brother in trouble by saying, "he didn't tell me anything." I said, "Oh, it was okay." Junior didn't say anything to me though.

Junior: I like people to figure things out themselves.

MW: Do you ever think that you might have postponed the crisis stage that a lot of people go through, that it might come some other time?

Junior: Yeah. I know that it might. I hope not. But if it does, it's okay, it's normal. I think I'm more ready to deal with that now, if it happens to me, and I'll let myself experience it instead of controlling myself.

I do feel sad because I won't be able to have a family. Every time I think about my brother and sister, they have their own families, and when I hear about schoolmates, getting married and having children, I don't have a chance. That's the only regret I have. I know I'll be a good husband and a good father. But I can't. I don't have.... I can't now.
