Meow. . . Brian Anderson talks with FourTwoNine about what it means to be a gay skater who comes out at the ripe old age of 40. The interview mostly goes over everything he’s already gone over in other interviews (and videos), but Brian’s answers to questions regarding sexual preference and skateboarding are always enlightening and entertaining, and the fact is with each interview he’s getting better at communicating his thoughts. For instance:
I’ve never been tempted to throw a purse over my shoulder, but that doesn’t mean I am not really gay, nor does it mean that people who chose to do so are more so. I think we are all just one varied community, and we all have to respect our different understandings of what being gay is. It’s such a difficult thing to not be informed, especially when you’re brought up in a town away from the two coasts. When you’re brought up in the middle of the country, you’re not exposed to as much, and that can lead your parents to be really closed minded and make it more difficult for you as a child growing up.

Nobody cares if your gay! It called old and wanting a paycheck.
