Example text
I wish I could see the look I must have had on my face when I first realized that maybe this new lifestyle of politics and advocacy wasn’t just temporary. Although that scene didn’t make it into the groundbreaking documentary, a film aptly named Ask Not, PBS managed to capture the moment when I truly felt like I had become the unlikely activist. I always found it funny when people would tell me that they came from a small town too, and that their small town had only about forty or fifty thousand people in it.
Once again, my parents could not have been prouder of me, and I could not have been more relieved to finally be able to get away for a while. After Christmas, I headed up to New York City for New Year’s to meet up with some friends. Going back home to South Carolina for Christmas had given me enough of a taste of my old home life and family, but getting to New York reminded me once again of my real life immediately prior to joining the army, a life in which I was comfortable being gay and relatively open about it to those around me.
Only a few close friends knew at that point that I had been kicked out of the military for being gay, and none of them even knew who my parents were or where they lived. When I told her that I thought that was a strange question and asked why she was inquiring, she explained that an envelope from the army had just arrived at their home and that my father, thinking anything coming from the army to their home must be for him, had opened it up. My father and I have the same name—I’m the third and he’s a junior—and my parents’ address had been listed on my military records as my “home of record” address, as is the case with most young recruits.
