When I told my parents I was gay, they were bewildered. My parents hadn't ever heard of an openly gay 10-year-old, yet there I was. They tried their best to support me, but they couldn't be everything. There are few resources for young gay kids. Fortunately, a friend told my parents about the high school Gay Straight Alliance (GSA). I started attending meetings and I loved it because hiding my secret from everyone had been ripping me apart. At the GSA meetings I could finally be me!
