On one side it's understandable, but still ...
... it just feels wrong.

A fire had destroyed an archive of the newspaper's original copies, but the Autry Library arranged to borrow microfilm of the complete set from 1956-1962, when Gregory lived in Cody. Rediscovering all the wonderful columns that his dad had written, with their small-town humor and skill at saying a lot with few words, Gregory found himself reconnecting with his home state as a grown man, in a way that he had never dared to do as a kid.
"And the sole reason for not being there before," he told me, "was because I was gay."

The quote I bolded confuses me two ways:
1. Is "there" the Autry Library, his connection to his home state, or something else?
2. Regardless of what "there" is, what was it about being gay that had caused his separation?
SFEnnisSF:
It was a great panel discussion. I was captivated the whole time, and learned a lot of new things and new ideas explored. I'm really looking forward to William Handley's book. :)
