Raised in a macho Italian family in Harrison, New Jersey, Chauncey got the sense at a young age that he had to be masculine and anything short of that would be a disappointment. While he did eventually own his gay identity, he left the family home for New York City, where he immersed himself in queer activism and the club scene. In the backdrop of 9/11, however, he further isolated himself from his family and became reliant on crystal meth. Fortunately, positive family news shook him to his senses - inspiring him to walk away from meth and bring his full, authentic self home.
