As a Mississippian who had to move to Minnesota, to the other end of the river, to be able to say, "I'm a gay man," I so appreciate your words. I often wonder who I would be today if I didn't have to leave home 40 years ago and could have said aloud to my friends, my church, and my family, "I am a gay man." I grieve that loss.

Loved this and you've expressed many of the same feelings that I, a straight white woman, have felt in re: LGBTQ+ issues. Thanks!
