”To be a young gay kid is to work around the clock. You start to feel feelings and you immediately get to work telling yourself that you’re not feeling them, or that they’re a phase, or that they’re motivated by some part of you that’s not the real you—a curiosity that’s spun out of control, a sickness, a demon, if you’re religiously inclined.”
”When you’re young and you don’t know how to find (or be) a real boyfriend yet, you make one up out of what’s around. You have your friends, who take care of your emotional needs, and then you hook up with strangers, which checks off the intimacy box. You cobble satisfaction together. It’s not perfect, but it works. It did for me, anyway.”
