My teen years were full of angst and could be perfectly narrated by Christina Ricci. I was a little lonesome, with no gay peers. Then high school came, and I began to embrace my homosexuality. I would no longer awkwardly dodge the “Are you gay?” question and I began to taste my freedom.
Today my favorite color is blue, my favorite animal is a lion (although some would argue it’s a bear), and my favorite game is Scrabble. And my favorite holiday is still Valentine’s Day.
