I was very nervous about presenting myself in the wrong way. I realized you’ve just got to take a deep breath and be yourself.I started opening up about growing up gay in the Midwest, what it was like coming out in a very conservative rural place, what it was like watching my mother battle cancer.
She’s still battling cancer and our American healthcare system.You know, and there were so many things that I felt like you’re supposed to keep locked up inside because those vulnerabilities might make you look.
