So this is. It was cute. It was super interesting. So when I was in, I think there's well, I think for me as a as a self-identified queer, undocumented person of color, I think that there's many different coming out stories for me. So there are certainly those stories of like coming out of some document and there's also like coming out as gay, as queer. And so I think for me, the one that and I can say I can tell both of those, but I think the one that obviously when someone says like, Oh, what's your coming out stories usually about being gay or queer or LGBTQ or whatever. So for me, it happened sort of in two different phases. I think the first time was when I was in college. I think it was my first or my second year. Um, I kind of had figured out that like, I guess I was gay. Like, I was sort of in this kind of exploration phase in my sexuality where I was like, okay, maybe I think, like, maybe I do like men. Maybe I should just see what that's about. And one of my friends I knew she was she was queer in high school, and she had been with women in high school. So that was kind of like super interesting to me. And so she went to a different college, a different university. And at one point she was like, Hey, I you know, I have this guy. I think that you like you should meet him. I think it's really great. You should sort of go out. Maybe I'll sit you guys on a date. And I was like, I don't know, like, this is so weird. Maybe we'll see. So she set it up on a blind date. And I went on that date, and it was it was fine. Like we would, you know, we hung out with friends, were just hanging out, like, chatting. It was like he had to have a little party. And so I went. But prior to going, I had told my younger sister that I was going to go on a date. She was like, Oh my God, that's awesome. That's cute. Like, Tell me all about it tomorrow. So I went on and the date I came back that night and then the next morning or the next day, my sister asked me how a date when she was like, Hey, how was she? Like, How was it like, How did you like her? Like, what was your name? And I was like, girl, you know, it was it was fun. Like he was he was cool. He was handsome. He smelled really nice. And, you know, I just I thought that he was a really good guy. And she was like, Wait, wait a minute. What do you mean? Like, what do you mean he was a he like that? So stupid. Like, that's so fucked up. Like, why did why did your friend has said her with a guy like, that's so fucked up? Like, that's horrible. And you know, I said I was like, you know, it's okay. Like, I actually agreed to the date cause, you know, sister, like I'm gay. And she was like, Are you kidding me? Oh, my God, no. How is this happening? She started crying, but, you know, I was like, No, it's okay. Like, things are going to be fine. But I. But I didn't think about this. But the reason why she was crying was because she was so happy. She was so happy that I was, you know, that I had gone on a date and I liked that. And I was sort of discovering something new about myself. And and she added, she was like, Oh my God, I always wanted to have a gay brother. So it was a it was kind of a an interesting sort of coming out because I think I did it with with my family. But prior to that and this is sort of like facing, you know, a different phase of that is, you know, I came out in college and I think in college was sort of a time that, like I knew I wasn't connected to my family and it was sort of like away from them so I could have the opportunity to just be free and and do more of that. And so certainly in college, that's when, you know, I had gotten some some workshops on what it meant to to have a sexual identity, what's a sexual identity for people and things like that. And so, yeah, I just decided to give it a try and I just found it to be awesome when I started telling some of my friends like, Yeah, I think I'm gay. I'm going to go on a date with this guy or I'm going to go run with this guy who I actually find kind of attractive. And you know, a lot of them are dating. They're just, okay, fine, I'm sure that's cool. And it wasn't bad. And I think because of of me being able to come out to all of my really good friends in college because we were all going through like different exploration phases, it was easier and it wasn't like. You know, seen as a taboo. It was just kind of like, okay, well, in our next game like that happens. So it was kind of it was a double whammy. It was like I was able to find some strength by being in a place that was open as college was, as UCLA was, and then sort of coming back home and and having a little bit of a strength to also do it at home. And then, you know, I, I have different stories for like how I came out to my older sisters, how I came out to my older brothers, things like that. And I've yet to sort of tell my mom like, mom, I'm gay, per se. But I think she I know that she knows in the sense that, like, she's seen that I've taken men to like, you know, different parties at different family functions, as you know, that I've never had a girlfriend over. They're not about to get married anytime soon. So I think my mom knows, but I haven't yet had that conversation with my mom, like, Oh, hey, mom, by the way, like, I'm gay. Because it's not something that in the way that I sort of see myself, it's not like. It's it's not like not the it's not the right time, but it's just it's not something that I have and have yet found a partner who I want to be able to introduce to my mother a song like his, like the guy that I'm going to be with. And this is, you know, I'm gay mom type thing. It's just I would much rather keep that information to myself. Yeah. At this point. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1731/collection_resources/56649/file/130844#t=5.19,365.25"}]},{"id":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1731/collection_resources/56649/file/130844/transcript/49326","type":"AnnotationPage","label":{"en":["English [Transcript]"]},"items":[{"id":"https://archive.empathyarchive.com/collections/1731/collection_resources/56649/file/130844/transcript/49326/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"subtitling","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/049/326/original/open-uri20230830-932125-pc0xiz?1693411861","format":"text/vtt","language":"en"},"target":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/049/326/original/open-uri20230830-932125-pc0xiz?1693411861"}]}]}]}
