  21. Haro . Joseph . iamjosephharo . CGOhhTHjKwt . October 11, 2020 . I love this boy...I saw his sensitivity as weakness and his silliness as flamboyance. Even after coming out, I suppressed these traits in order to appear more "masculine." At one point, I stopped smiling in pictures because that was "too gay."...Coming out was the greatest blessing in my life...today I remember, aside from love, what the world needs now is truth. And the courage to speak that truth, no matter the cost. . en .
