It was just starting to get known as AIDS. It was still not named anything yet, right? At that time, it was the gay disease. GROSS: So your father was a choir director who traveled a lot because he was living this secret life as a homosexual. So he kept moving to try to be with him and never knowing why he was going away to these different places - later found out it was to be with his lovers. But because he wasn't allowed to be who he was, he split off and went to find his love elsewhere than with the family. I mean, certainly for him, I can't imagine how difficult that must have been. So certainly, coming out as being a gay man, especially then, was not - it was not even allowed. Which, of course, we found out later, and as I understand it now, was because he had another life. He just couldn't seem to settle down into a normal job. HECHE: Because he didn't have a job other than being a choir director. GROSS: Why was the family always in debt? So that just kind of happened by accident. And he was a wonderful pianist and organist and had a beautiful voice and a talent for making people sing.
But he just - whatever town we were in, he would just go to the church. The two kind of tried to go hand in hand as he was constantly trying to explain why we didn't have a home. The traveling had to do with our financial circumstances and running away from our debt. Oh, the traveling didn't have anything to do with being in church. But what did he do as the choir director and why did it entail traveling around a lot? GROSS: Yeah, we'll will get to the other things. Would you describe what he did exactly and. GROSS: Now, I want to ask you, your father was an itinerant fundamentalist choir director. There was - yes, it was a very limited scope. Books were not pushed in our direction either.

TERRY GROSS: What were you brought up as strictly as a fundamentalist, and if so, did that affect the kind of popular culture you were exposed to, the movies you could watch, the TV shows, records? She told Terry she grew up in a Christian fundamentalist family. We're going to listen back to Terry's 2000 interview with Anne Heche. Heche began a public same-sex relationship with Ellen DeGeneres at a time when such relationships were rare in Hollywood.
