Gammelstad, Sweden 1977
I always knew that there was something "different" about me. But little did I know that in the future it would bring about this gay and wonderful life.
A tough part growing up is that my parents were VERY religious. And sometimes that felt like a curse from the dark side.
I didn't have many friends growing up, but I had one special one. It was Peter, my first love. He had moved to our town and was in my class. It was love at first sight, before I knew how love would actually feel.
To this day, I remember every little thing about him:
His blue eyes, the blond hair, and his wonderful dimples.
Today, I'm married to a wonderful husband, with three lovely children and a beautiful life. I wouldn't change my childhood, this black-grey-sepia-period of mine. Somehow it formed me and shaped me into the person I am today.
Mom, you always knew - even if you bit the pillow when my little sister turned out to be a lesbian. Dad, you never knew - even when you found me in bed with another man! So here I am, and here YOU are - born perfect in the eyes of God!
