When I came out to my loved ones, they were worried I would get AIDS. When I came out to my best friend, she told me she knew a camp that could fix me.
I left my hometown six months after coming out and landed in San Francisco, ready to attend San Francisco State University. At first, it was glorious.
San Francisco welcomed me with open arms. But over the years, I have watched our city change for the worse, almost becoming an exclusive club.
