Being from Venago County/Franklin Area


I'm from this area- actually, my sister was CJ's friend for years. She's the Christy that was interviewed. I came out as bisexual when I was 14, but as a girl (and oblivious due to Asperger's Autism) I didn't go through the amount of hell he did. For some reason being a girl makes my sexuality more acceptable to certain people, especially guys who think there's something good about a girl leaving another for them. But the guys I knew didn't want to be out- they hide behind extracurriculars or were scared that conservative family members were going to disown them.

I was in classes with some of his bullies, too, which was a little terrifying. And in more ways than just the double standard- The people didn't pull *beep* with me but knowing that they were capable of doing that?
