My struggles with my sexuality
has more to do with the outside
world than it does inside.
My biggest problems and my pain
and whenever I was emotional,
whenever I felt hurt or broken
about my sexuality, came from
the outside world.
It came from how other people
treated me or how other people
was looking at me or what other
people had to say.
It's gotten to a point where I
had to grow up and be like,
"Well, you're gonna be this
"regardless, so this is you.
"And you either need to live up
"to it and own up to that and
"just accept it, or you're gonna
"be miserable for the rest of
your life."
And God forbid that's how kids
end up hurting themselves.
>> [drill buzzing]
>> Like my sexuality doesn't
define me, and it doesn't take
away from my morals, doesn't
take away from my character.
I'm tired of things having to be
a secret for me to keep.
I just wanna be free.
I want to live my life for me

thing.
