Playing for PRIDE
I always think that playlists are a little lazy, this is because of my age and I remember doing cassettes for friends and girlfriends to share the music that mattered and obviously these had to be put together in real time and could only really be shared with one person , or put on at a party. You could also do a tape for the car , so any passengers would be treated to your musical taste (or lack of).

Simon's Friend
Despite the homophobic names being hurled at him, the boys of Hillrain Academy weren't actually scared of Simon Finner. In fact, Simon's gentle nature and quiet disposition emboldened the likes of Charlie Dull and his overgrown followers to bully him even more.

Finding My Way Home To Acceptance & Love
I am a gay man. My coming out experience was a breeze. The first person I told was my cousin who I was living with at the time. No surprise. Second was my sister who I consider my best friend. Again no surprise. It continued like this until everyone knew. Even my parents took it well who just needed a night to sleep on it and then they got curious and started asking questions about everything.

My Experience Coming Out
All the things she said - t.A.T.u. In sixth grade I met a girl that set my heart on fire. We were friends, then best friends, then her words never left my head. I was confused and I felt things that weren't in line with what I thought my values were. I stayed up all night wondering what to do. In true sixth grade fashion, I wrote a note. Half of it was pure apology because I had no clue how she'd react. The other had my feelings written more deeply than I could have said out loud. All I could do when I handed it to her was beg that she read it later and not to respond if she didn't feel the same.
