When I was five-years-old, I started participating in the gay pride parades.There weren’t any openly gay people in my neighborhood, in turn I never met any children with gay parents.My parents said that I was had a very loud personality.I think this developed from all of the flamboyant friends my dad had.

When I was 7 I had been diagnosed with Hypertensive nephropathy.This just means that my kidneys are damaged because of high blood sugar.So I had to get a surgery when I was 8 because my kidneys were shutting down, I survived thankfully.While I was in the hospital my dads and my mom slept in the waiting room, and when I was at home my mom slept on the couch.That’s when my mom and dad became friends again.
