Chris Appleton on coming out after fathering two kids: “I thought I had it all figured out”



I was bullied quite a bit at school, and people used to say I was gay because I did hair. I never was too focused on sexuality, but people at school always mentioned it, and, as a kid, you just don’t ever want to be different.

I already felt different because I was dyslexic.

I was, I guess, just determined to prove everyone wrong, but so much that I did myself a disjustice [sic]. It wasn’t until I experienced it, at 26, that I was also going through it as well as everyone else.

The difficult thing is, then you’re hurting people around you that you’ve committed to, and you feel that.

People feel like they know you, and you feel like you know them, and all of a sudden you’re telling a different story which you’re trying to figure out. So, it was really hard for a few years, it was really difficult…

…I think once I let go of all the guilt and shame of it all, my whole life changed.
