No, I knew I was gay from childhood. I told my mom when I was 8. But I got in really big trouble for it. I'm from the Deep South so here it's an abomination and you're going to hell ect ect ect and I was lectured that for a long time and wasmade to feel dirty. I tried not to be gay for a while. Prayed i wasn't gay. by tipping the scale I meant that this was when I stopped fighting it. I was just like f it, this is it this is who I am
