I never was really formally coming out. I always had a lot of gay friends and so my parents would ask me at one point why I thought I gravitated towards that community because I think they were fishing, but I usually had opposite-sex partners. It was a straight-passing thing because I would have more casual partners who were women or non-binary. At some point, I did have a more candid conversation just with my mom.
I went to school all through elementary and high school in Portland, Oregon. We were all quite fortunate to be in an environment that was an oasis in a lot of ways. We had transgender bathrooms or inclusive bathrooms and set aside safe spaces for people before I got to see those steps get made in other places. I think I naturally gravitated toward having friends who were queer. I grew up as a dancer and being in more artistic environments a lot of my friends were gay.
