Generally, we were too concerned with paying bills and not losing our home to even deal with gay issues. We had one #out gay in school, but he was different from me (many ways braver). I watched his #torment and desired to simply get out of that hell place. I always knew I was #gay, but I didn't feel I owed anyone that admission. If you've ever hurriedly asked someone if they're gay before they tell you, I hope you reflect on that. Maybe you stole that opportunity from them, and made it more difficult. I often wonder about #cishet dudes who are allies now, but sweep their previous transgressions under the rug out of shame. Including #bystander awkward laughter at #homophobia.
