00:00I knew something was quote-unquote like different with me at a very young age and then you know
00:05going throughout that I grew up with a stepfather and it wasn't until I hit high school that I
00:11started realizing that I had attraction to other boys and I came out as bisexual and the way that
00:19I came out was I wrote I wrote my parents a five and a half page note at that time
00:24I didn't know
00:25what the words meant I didn't know what the word gay was I didn't know what the word was I
00:30didn't
00:30know any of that and I was like okay I'm being told I don't have a reason to be here
00:34I'm being
00:35told I don't have a right to be here I'm going to hell I was like well might as well
00:38just do it
00:39myself so I wrote that five and a half page letter and I remember sitting in my room just letting
00:44it
00:44all out for me it was a shock whenever she came in and she was like why didn't you tell
00:47me and it's
00:48like oh god or you know something but no she was actually very calm about it and she was like
00:54okay
00:54your mother she said you know I don't understand but I'm not gonna judge you for it I also noticed
00:59a switch in my stepfather I've been alone for so long at that point it's like this is nothing new
