I&#8217;m really sorry that you were put in that situation. It&#8217;s not fair for someone to be forced to choose between speaking their mind and maintaining a relationship with family.

You asked for people to come and speak about what it was like to be LGBT in Adrian and I fell silent. I was extremely excited you were doing this and discussed it with my family. I told them I was thinking about speaking. I received immediate and intense “pressure” to stay silent. (He was worried about his job.) I read your post about speaking everyday for a week… I decided to “preserve” what little relation I had with my family. I was wrong, and I apologize.
