Could you imagine a prom where it’s just the LGB kids? I went to a school of about a thousand. Judging by all the people who’ve come out since then, maybe 75 people would’ve been in attendance? (And almost none of my friends would’ve been able to come.) Ugh, just typing this out I’ve decided this fictional event would’ve been way too awkward to touch with a 29.5 foot pole.

Man I'd be so curious to see who from my high school is actually LGB, lol. I was still deep in the closet in high school, in rare moments barely able to admit to myself that I was attracted to girls. I wonder how many other people there were like me.

Probably more than you think. I spent most of high school sadly pining after two girls. They both came out a few years later. (As in, are actually lesbians and now married to women.) Evidently one also had a massive crush on me. It’s been a decade and I’m still a little salty that I could’ve been making out with Megan instead of sadly rereading Plath and Anna Karenina.

I thought this story was going to end with them being married to each other. That's exactly the kind of shitty luck I would have had; the beautiful straight guy I had a crush on in HS gets married to the other beautiful straight guy and neither of them are me.
