I met so many different kds of people at RIT, my llege, and I thought “oh, that’s what means to be gay.

I spected that he was probably gay and I talked to some people about how I should approach him. I wanted to say somethg but we weren’t exposed to a whole lot of gay people growg up, me growg up an Irish Catholic fay om the northeast. And even though I knew I was gay, and she probably knew I was gay, she gave me the time to e out and do my own way.

She’s my mom, and I love her and so we got together and I said “Mom, I want to let you know that I’m gay, and you mean everythg to me and I love you. That’s the thg he was so aaid of, that I was gog to love him ls, and I said “You are the same exact person that you were 20 mut ago before you put that label on yourself that ‘I’m gay. But he hadn’t been exposed to the gay muny enough, he hadn’t been ted enough about .

Once I me out I noticed that some of the girls maybe say, “Oh, he’s gay, that really sucks, ” but, sorry ladi. Not that there’s been many gay, af people, but everyone who I have met has been wonrful.

The gay af muny and the gay muny, separately – there is no te nnectn between them. I thk would be better if both muni, if everybody, ma an effort to be together: the hearg and the af cultur, the af gay group, the hearg group. C., wow, the gay muny and the hearg muny and the af muny, there are so many terpreters there Washgton D.

Y, of urse there are terpreters here, but there are not as many gay terpreters. KAREN: So let me ask you this: may be rrect, but what I had read onle was that, for the first race, they did not want you to be out as a gay man. It was the same kd of thg, the producers of the TV program said they know that Le is gay, but they really wanted to foc on our relatnship, and how we changed and [had] grown together.

We speak wh the mother and son team about their experienc on the show, Le's datg life as a af gay man and what a great mom he has. * gay luke adams *

I’m really happy, though, bee ’s really important for the af gay muny bee, pecially for younger af gay people, I n be a role mol for them. There were always gay people on the show where they did talk about them beg gay.
