Assignment 1
1. Realizing at thirteen years old during a swim meet that I was in fact gay and then also realizing that it was something I may have to hide. This was pivotal in realizing my identities conflict with other people’s opinions.
2. Trying to pretend that my boyfriend in high school Steve was actually my friend. This is when I discovered homosexual relationships have problems when one is more in touch with their identity than the next.
3. Coming out to my mother several times and having her tell me that I didn’t look gay. This made me look and wonder if I truly match my identity on the outside.
