Texas. In a new essay with OutSports, Majure details his road to coming out, and why he chose to start a gay-straight alliance in his high school.“Around the time I entered the fifth grade, I knew I was gay,” Majure writes. “I would never have admitted it to anyone, even myself, but I knew I was.
Growing up in Keller, Texas, I became conditioned to the idea that anything different was considered wrong. So for the majority of my fifth- and sixth-grade years, I promised myself that I would find a way not to be different.
I hoped that one day I would wake up and suddenly be normal.”Majure goes on to explain how his fear living in the closet pushed him hard in athletics.
