5 or 6, mom had some clothes drying in the bathroom, I tried them on and got busted (and punished). after that parents were always checking up on me, got busted twice more later into the teens, got better at hiding. got the gay talk twice (Jesus would cry) didn't matter i was also busted with playboys, or how much i pleaded that i like women. my parents are all black and white

when i got married, my mom hugged my wife and told her she was scared i had been gay, but everything was okay now.
