School

No One Ever Told Me

No One Ever Told Me

All the way through grade school and most of high school, I was picked on. Back then no one ever spoke of ‘bullies’, no supports of any tangible kind. No anti-bullying campaigns, GSA’s or teachers looking out for students. In fact, many teachers perpetuated the bullying by either supporting it or ignoring it altogether. And because no one ever told me these boys were bullies I thought it was my fault.

Not like the other boys

I knew at a very young age that I was not like other boys my age. I never liked the typical “boys toys, ” and I would always rather play with dolls and other toys typically associated with girls. Then when I was 12 years old, I told the first person I knew at a very young age that I was not like other boys and when I was 12 years old I told the first person that I was gay, and it was a huge relief.

Surprise, I’m gay!

In another life I was married for ten years. To a man. This information always seems to throw people off when they first hear about it. I frequently get questions like “how does that work?” or “how did you end up dating women?” And to many people it probably seems confusing or surprising, but it was actually a long time coming.

Daniel Zuaro’s Coming Out Story

It never really occurred to me that being gay would change me as a person. It helped me change my way of thinking, it helped me to think of life in a more positive way.

A & E, to new EP

Firstly, my medical history hasn’t directly impacted on my identity as what I would often say is ’90% non-straight’. However …in retrospect it defiantly made the coming out process more difficult.
