I could tell early on in the documentary that this Scotty Bowers must've been abused at some point in his childhood to morally think that his "service" in the form of being a prostitute/pimp was acceptable and to just so willingly jump into it full-force.
Sure enough, about halfway through the film he recalls his childhood and it was full of child abuse and the worst of it.. he never considered himself abused and seemed to enable the abuse of other children. Sorry but this is really disturbing to hear and of course these experiences shaped his life and the lives of so many others. And while the documentary portrays this all in a acceptable almost congratulatory way I find it all very sad. Essentially Scotty's entire life amounted to being about sex and getting sex for others. It's not surprising Hollywood thinks this is great, especially gay Hollywood but ultimately it's all just very sad to me.
