Surprisingly, the quest started off quite matter-of-factly:
First name first: “Simon”. ST isn’t certain where/when this moniker began, (“I’ve always been Simon, just Simon.”) but it stuck. Maybe, it’s from ‘Simon says…’, since his capacity for creative leadership was so close to the surface in his encounters with his…

Remember when queer was a harmless verb? E.G.:He queered up his relationship with his professor by cheating on an exam.
Write that now and you will offend 99% of the known world.
