The poker room at the Mirage in Vegas is the center of the poker universe. Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Phil Helmuth. The legends consider it their office. Every couple of days a new millionaire shows up wanting to beat a world champion. Usually they go home with nothing but a story. Down here, the millionaires are scarce or they're playing craps, but there's still plenty of money for the taking.

I moved in with my gay friend Daniel and his little boyfriend. I told you about them... And they are real happy I left home. They bring their friends over to meet me and they've turned me into the talk of the gay community… So I've been going along with it. You know, I go to dinners, drinks… I even went to this gay club with them on sunday. They told me there'd be some hot ladies there, somebody I could pick up that aren't even lesbians… And it didn't do anything for me.

These children are now safe. In our care, they will be safe because we are from the same cold streets as they are. And, in our care, they won't be shipped away to the colonies, or separated from kin, or made to work for men in their various ways. They will grow up here, at home, loved. In Birmingham. Because this is our city.
