Not to be insensitive, but I always thought coming out of the closet was trite, for myself anyway. I get that for some people it’s really important and significant. However in regards to myself I felt it was cliché and unnecessary.
I’ve known I was gay for as long as I can remember. I can remember watching TV and thinking Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Devon Sawa were SO FINE. It’s the reason I stole my cousin’s VHS tape of Wild America, and it’s also the reason I know without out a doubt that being gay is genetic. It’s not a choice.
