Something huge was blooming inside me, or maybe something huge was blooming in the world and I was just lucky enough to witness it. Gay kissing, right here at Idlewild! I’d thought it was impossible—I don’t think I’d ever fully realized, until that moment, just how impossible it had always felt to me—and now, boom, it was happening. What else was possible now? Anything. Everything. The world had cracked wide open and you could kiss your best friend and you would still be yourselves, the music would keep playing, the show would go on.
