So I've been writing this coming out letter for my parents for almost a month now. This letter basically maps out any gay-ish memory I've had that's sort of guided me to where I am now with discovering my sexuality. In this letter I started out with addressing this fake boyfriend I had in the third grade. I talked about how I only made up my crush on him because I was scared the other girls would think I was weird for not having a crush. ANYHOW! And I don't remember people talking about homosexuality (or anything else that wasn't straight) that much back then, but I know I remembered that I was extremely uncomfortable when this other girl asked me if I wanted to play the husband because we didn't have a guy to play the husband in this recess game called House. I can't recall this moment too much in detail, because it was literally ten years ago, but I'm pretty sure I asked to play the game with her (instead of being invited to) and that my other peers were okay with playing the husband (and I was fine with their decision to do so) platonic-ly. I don't know is this is either hella ironic homophobia or just a blinking lit sight that says gay? What do y'all think?
That she thought of you to be the husband? I don't think that's homophobia in any way. I can remember playing female roles at school, even though we had female friends - everyone did it, or so I believe.
