GAY AND GREEK: THE EXPERIENCE OF BEG GAY AND A ATERNY

That distctn matters, bee I do not want LGBT stunts feelg any ls safe than they need to my llege years the mid-00s, I straddled two worlds I lled “gay world” and “Greek world.

I mpaigned agast the Kentucky amendment banng gay marriage that year, and 2006 helped anize a prott when the Universy of the Cumberlands expelled a stunt for beg gay.

MY ATERNY YEARS AS AN OUT GAY MAN

As the only out young gay kid at my school, I took the advancement of my sexual experienc to my own hands and I did what we all do: I bought a fake ID and h the gay clubs.

While I knew wouldn’t be like a gay llege eroti I’d read on (gay non, really), I rather naively wasn’t expectg the fall out. I realize I fell to that old gay adage of placg my feelgs on a person who, for whatever reason, was never gog to vt them back me.

Worst of all, though, the shame attached to the memori of those first tim marred how I would approach sex for years.It was listeng to Years & Years’ new song “Sanctify,” and seeg the band’s out gay sger Olly Alexanr talk about how the song was spired his sexual trysts wh straight men, that I realized that the feelgs are way more mon than people let on. Sure, I know all about gay guys havg sex wh straight guys, but felt reassurg to see him scribe the “sat and sner role” he embodied durg those experienc, and to hear the uncertaty and melancholy weaved to the song.More than anythg though, was the repeated lyril mantra of “I won’t be ashamed.” Bee as queer people, we’re buried lifetime’s worth of shame so vivid and searg that oftentim ’s cripplg. At least not I most fely was not at a aterny for two stunts who attempted to attend a aterny party at the Universy of Memphis, beg outwardly gay - or for beg gay - or perceived to be gay - or mored to be gay - was a triment.
