Today I was outside with my neighbors. They were having a party and although I have lived in the same house for 3 years, I never really talked to them. They are all Puerto Rican and I was afraid they wouldn’t like me because I am gay. Well I was swimming in the pool with the kids and one of the girls, who couldn’t be more than 12, asked me if I liked kids. I said I did but that I probably wasn’t going to have any. She asked why and I just said, “Because I am gay.” She replied “So? You can still have kids. You could adopt.” This made me incredibly happy. I should have talked to them so long ago but I am glad I finally did.
