We went through middle school into high school together and I definitely had a crush on him, I just never really, it was just like I really liked him, I didn’t know if he was gay, we never talked about it, I never even let that part of me really out. I had a friend who I had known since probably 7th grade. I didn’t really know anybody who was gay but I knew that I was gay.
Growing up in Hawaii, it was different, it was a bit isolated, I didn’t have a lot of gay friends, I didn’t have any gay friends actually. I’m Tirrell and I’m from Atlanta, Georgia.īefore moving to Georgia, I lived in Hawaii until I was 15.
