Coming out

I grew up with a gay uncle. I kinda thought that it was a pretty typical thing. Wasn't until I was in high school before I found out otherwise.
I don't know you, but one thing I will ask of you is this, take care of yourself. My uncle contracted AIDS way back when it was first discovered. He's gone now and I miss him. When he passed his body was treated like a pariah.
We've come a long way since then, but I would still hate to hear about it.
