I had a friend in high school who was gay. Turns out, he was quite interested in me, but he was respectful that I had a long term girlfriend throughout high school. I'm about 99% straight, so it wouldn't have worked out anyway likely. But, I digress... I was at his home one time and he showed me a pair of red stiletto heels he had that he'd put on because he was practicing walking in them for a drag show. I was in awe. I couldn't bring myself to say anything to him. I'd never told a soul at that point, and didn't for quite a few years yet. He's the only one that I ever knew who was any of drag/cd/trans.
