I’m probably a little more like my dad. But because of my mom, I never saw being a woman as being an impediment to being able to do something. She had her Ph.D. before I was born.
I didn’t know that President Bush would endorse a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
It wasn’t a secret that I was gay. I’d come out to my parents during my junior year of high school, on the day that I also wrecked the family car.
