Since puberty, he’d only thought of being with girls and once he hit high school, he wanted them in his bed.

“Your past wasn’t a lie,” he said. “What you felt then was real – in that moment, but as we age, we evolve. We discover new things about ourselves, preferences, and so on. It’s all part of defining who we are – who we were meant to be. I think that’s what’s happening to you.”
