I’d already been the target of homophobic bullying and didn’t feel safe coming out to the rest of the world.I was lucky to live in a loving and supportive home. It was also a political household; my dad, in particular, was always active in expressing his beliefs and principles. Both my parents stood for things, cared about others – and they cared about me.
