Story #474

When I came out, I was engaged to a man. It never felt exactly “right” being with a man, but I’d convinced myself this thing I thought was missing wasn’t real. I came out to my best friend of 3 years over a bottle of wine just 2 months after she came out to me. We were both 22, and we had fallen in love. Now, she’s my girlfriend, and the best one anyone could ask for.
