“These are my stories — as I remember them.”
Set in a small northern town in the 1970s, this is more than a coming out story. It’s a raw, honest, and often wry journey through the psyche, the politics, and the pressures of a time that had little room for difference.
As a gay kid growing up in an era of silence and shame, my voice was misrepresented, undermined, even sensationalized by the dominant culture. Now, I’m setting the story straight — through moments of resilience, humour, heartbreak, and hope.
This is a story about choosing authenticity over fear, joy over judgment, and community over isolation.
It’s not just about coming out. It’s about coming into a life fully lived.
