A true survivor, we're meeting David Keck, of the "Surviving Abuse" podcast!

(Warning: Content Alert) David told me before our interview that he doesn't like to end his episodes in a downbeat manner, and I wondered how he does that. And oddly enough, our conversation, after the interview, ended with a conversation with The Sherpa Bride about soap operas. Well played, sir, well played. This is truly a guy with a powerful will to live, Rebels. The horrific story of his ordeal may be tough to listen to, but, it certainly does not define him. It only enhances his amazing resilience. "Some gay men that I know would have died in that situation...but I was not going to." And the world is that much better because he chose not to. Thanks for a powerful interview, David!
