Anyway, I’ve been thinking about why I haven’t come out yet. Maybe it’s because it doesn’t seem fair that only gay people have to come out. Why is straight the default? Or maybe it’s because I can’t be sure this whole “being gay” thing is forever. Or maybe it’s that there’s not that much of high school left and part of me wants to hold on to who I’ve always been just a little longer. And then, when I go to college in Los Angeles, I’ll be gay and proud, I promise.
