Doug Spearman, a.k.a. Chance, penned a wonderful op-ed for The Advocate in which he talks about his life, love, lover and upcoming directorial debut. And the gnawing fear that he'll screw it all up royally. An excerpt:
"I know my life is amazing. I’m an openly gay black man who has a career in Hollywood as a writer, actor, and now a director.
