WARNING: Those who don't remember my past are doomed to repeat it.

It is night. The light from the fire dances across his face is the most flattering way, and he knows it. He sits on a log, several young Queers gathered around him. They hang onto his every word, as he tells them a story. It is a story about mustaches and Gay bars and the Sears Men's Underwear Catalog and losing your V to a trucker and chasing Gay bashers in six-inch heels dressed as a drag bunny and a virus and watching your friends die and ACT UP and dental dams and using words such as "lover" and "beard" and when Cher's name had an accent and stealing a VHS copy of Batman and Throbbin from behind the beaded curtain and they are rapt.

"Tell us more," they cry. "More about what it was like in the before-time! You're saying marriage was a thing that wasn't allowed to us? PrEP didn't exist? Boys couldn't wear nail polish to school? What about skirts?"

Jon Kinnally was born in Upstate New York and went to college at Oswego State University, before moving to New York, where he performed with his writing partner, Tracy Poust, in their comedy group, Loud Blouse. After relocating to Los Angeles, the first job interview they had was with the creators of an as yet unaired show called Will & Grace, and shockingly to them, it became their first television job as well.

He and Tracy stayed with the show through its entire eight seasons, eventually running it, and returning for the reboot. Over the years, there were many Emmy nominations as well as a Writers Guild Award for Outstanding Writing in Episodic Comedy in 2018.

He has also worked on many other shows, including Ugly Betty--which received Emmy and NAACP award nominations--and The Crazy Ones which they ran, and had the privilege to write for the great Robin Williams.

He currently lives in Spain with his husband Chris and their cats, Howard Bannister and Elliott.
