Vince, Derek throws himself under the bus willingly. It feeds his need for attention and publicizes his basement radio show.
It's unfortunate he has to demean himself in this manner to stay afloat but when you've danced, cammed and performed favors for gay men all your life then pride and dignity are not something you can afford.
Derek, I'm not a hater. Everything you tried and hoped for did not work out - everything! Then you got ill and hooked on drugs. I genuinely feel sorry for you, believe it or not.
