Oh this'll be fun...
I was in school talking with a friend. I was asking if some boy in school was there, and she said "You really like him, don't you?" I knew what she meant by this, and it was that moment that I admitted it to her and to myself that I did. All of a sudden, i no longer felt like a freak with all this unanswered emotions that caused the emotional breakdowns. I told her not to tell anyone, but the next day, I gradually told my friends, till finally it wasn't a secret anymore.
I was 15.
But I was 16 when I came out to my family. That was a different story. Most of them accepted this fact, and to this day, 15 years later, my father still won't.
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
