I was born the fourth child to Orvel and Barbara on June 8, 1962. The town of Newport, Arkansas would never be the same again. Given the name of Randy Gene Bise I was on the start of a journey that would lead me to the point of time we call "today". Growing up in a time when being "different" could cause a lot of problems for you. I dint know it at first but I was "different" as they would say.
All thru school I knew what I liked and it was both sexes. Of course I couldnt tell anyone because I was taught that was wrong but I knew what I wanted. I tried the girlfriend route but wasnt happy. As they say you cant have your cake and eat it too (I have never understood why not!!) I could never tell my "girlfriends" what I wanted they would think they did something wrong.
In time I realized that I would not be happy unless I faced who I was and quit trying to hid. So after college I entered what we know as the "gay world" little did I realize what lay ahead!!
