I’m Prancing As Fast As I Can is a coming of Gay story that takes us from a scared, self-hating kid who spends most of his time under his desk staring at the hunky man on the Doan’s Pills box, to becoming a writer on Will & Grace helping to make it a little easier for other scared, self-hating kids who might also be hiding and staring at their secret desire. It’s a journey through Olympic mustaches and the Sears Men’s Underwear Catalog and when Cher’s name had an accent and losing your virginity to a trucker and chasing Gay bashers in six-inch heels dressed as a drag bunny and a terrible virus that took your friends away and memorials and memorials and memorials and ACTing UP and using words such as “lover” and “beard” and Camp Sister Spirit and having a fan who also is a serial killer and Gay penguins and spreading your boyfriends ashes with your new boyfriend and Prop 8 and Gay ghosts and getting to write lines for divas on Ugly Betty and Gay marriage and more stuff like that and in the end ketamine therapy to help it all make sense.
