think about Buzz and Tommy. I think about what it was like to try and navigate their feelings for each other in a 1949 America that ostracized anyone that didn't conform. I think about how love is difficult enough to nurture into maturity even under the most hospitable and welcoming conditions and then think about how Buzz and Tommy had to make a feast on whatever crumbs they could manifest in secret, furtive, late night meetings in the shadows away from prying eyes. I think of Buzz holding on to this photo as his body begins to slip away but his mind remembers the only bit of love he was ever allowed to have as he went ahead and got married and had kids and did his societal duty. I think about Buzz's daughter finding this photo after she has buried her father and wondering "Who the hell is Tommy?" and then remembering the one old man with a twinkle still in his tear stained eyes who showed up to the funeral alone and no one knew who he was. I think about Buzz's daughter and son sitting at the kitchen table with several shoeboxes full of letters, letters written to their father from Tommy spanning decades. Letters describing both mundane moments of life and the greatest love that had ever been felt between two people, a love that their father sacrificed for them and their entire family. I think of Buzz's son placing those letters in front of his own 14 year old son after he was sent home from school for participating in a group bullying of a gay student. "Your 'punishment' son is you're not getting up from this table until you read every single one of those letters from beginning to end." he says, placing the photo of Tommy and Buzz down on the table. I think about Buzz and Tommy... I think about Buzz and Tommy a lot. I think about Buzz and Tommy because I believe that they deserved their shot. Despite my homophobic redneck indoctrination and upbringing, I refuse to be responsible for any Buzz or Tommy feeling like they don't belong, have to hide or don't deserve to be loved freely and openly. I taught my own sons to protect and uplift the Buzz and Tommy's they encounter, not tear them down. I think about Buzz and Tommy... and I write. Pinned
