I could give all kinds of excuses why I chose not to come out, truth be told I was scared..I found a way to be me, but that way became extremely destructive! I became a dancer, and a model. It was a way I could be with women and not feel ashamed. That career choice almost killed me. I became a heroin addict, became extremely addicted to heroin. But at that point I felt it was too late. So I continued, til the law took me in. It wasn’t until I was released from lock up that I came out to my parents. They couldn’t understand! To not only have a daughter that is gay, but to have one that is a gay addict. Double whamy! I still sometimes believe that I can ignore who I really am. And struggle daily with that..
