When I came out, it was to my old punk band a year after high school. We had been getting very heavily into psychedelics and I decided that enough was enough and I knew I had to move on. I needed to become a positive person on my own and coming out would be a major step. They all said they sort of guessed. When I asked them how, they simply said, “Every time we make a gay joke, you get all red and quiet”. Even today, when my guitarist gets a little drunk, he’s always trying to get me to kiss him haha.
