Rick talks vulnerably and courageously about his journey as a sensitive man who also happens to be gay in this piece. I came out in I felt overwhelmed much of the time, with no one to talk with and no support except for myself.

And if that got too much, there was always booze to deaden the pain. This would include the gay and lesbian communities. I became a fan of Twenty One Pilots rather late in the game — just this year in fact. School was where most of the gay-related taunts occurred.

Before I go further, though, let me introduce myself. Growing up straight would have been difficult in the circumstances; being gay on top of it was just too much for me. Males using this strategy protect and support their family, the mother and children, in various ways, depending on the species.
