After I finally came out to my parents, my stepmom told me she figured I was queer the day she met me. Would have been nice if they'd said something! 🙃

Tell me about it! Although to be fair, soooo many bullies growing up called me gay. And the best defense I could come up with was always "not like you would know!"

Never a direct "of course I'm not!" Because it always felt on some level true. But boys were gross. So definitely couldn't be gay.

So years of people saying I was gay and me not believing them - turns out they're right. I am gay, lol. Just not how anyone thought 😅
