I was most of the way thru high school and still had yet to have girlfriend (or friends), and one day before play practice mom joked asked if I was gay. I cried for the next 30 minutes including the way to practice because I had spent elementary middle, and high school being called gay and fag and homo (not even knowing what any of those meant until high school) and the last person I expected to call me that was my mom.
