In order to not have to deal with being gay in the world, you have to control everything. You try and walk in an un-gay way so as not to be found out.

Unfair and deceptive business practices have been illegal in most states for decades. Yet traffickers routinely use what appear to be legitimate businesses - massage parlors, bars, nail salons - as fronts for their illegal exploitation. It's the ultimate business scam.
