barney it's great to have you here. >> thank you. >> hunt: barney, how much of your public year in the first 20 years was affected by the fact that you were gay and couldn't disclose it? >> i now know retroactively more than i thought. there was one way it didn't affect me. that is, i never let that keep me back from being an advocate for gay rights. so that was a decision i made earlier on. i can't be honest about who i am so i'm going to be a coward, but i won't be a hypocrite. i'm not going to hold back from the fight, so i did that. but you know this takes a lot out of your personally. >> hunt: you talked about the emotional damage. >> no question. you are repressing -- repressing is a good word -- you have physical and emotional needs, needs to relate to other people as who you are. especially when i became a legislator. legislation, as you know, is a personal business. legislators have to interact with each other. we don't have a formal hierarchy. nobody can order anybody else. when your interpersonal skills are somewhat impeded by your own inner turmoil you don't do it as well.
