Um.

But my way of dealing with it, first of all, had a lot to do with Chasten.

So all this happened, yeah, we got married in 2018.

And all of this happened toward the end of 2019.

So we hadn't been married for long.

And he never guessed when neither one of us guessed on our first date or even when we got married that this was happening.

Yeah.

I mean, I'd like to believe we'll get to a day when it's just not a thing.

No one cares.

And it doesn't affect your career.

It doesn't affect your opportunities in life.

It just is what it is.

That's how I feel it should be.

But, you know, that's not how it was or how it is.

I mean, when I was commissioned into the Navy Reserve, it was still the law of the land that if I was known to be gay, I'd be fired, right?

In fact, when I finally made peace with this reality that I was gay, I was well into my 20s because I wanted so bad for it not to be true.

that even though obviously I was the whole time, I just needed it not to be true.

And working through that took most of my 20s.

And then when I finally kind of came to terms with it, it was also around the time that I was running for mayor.

And maybe because not being able to come to terms with it meant that I didn't have really a dating life.
