english: But the self-loathing of that period left a void, and celebration needs to fill and overflow it, and even if I repay my private debt of melancholy, there's still an outer world of homophobia that it will take decades to address.
non_english: ali samoprezir tog perioda je ostavio prazninu i slavljenje mora da je napuni i prelije, i čak i kada otplatim svoj lični dug melanholije, još uvek postoji spoljni svet homofobije za čije rešavanje će biti potrebne decenije.
