Like this is, it's just weird.
It's awkward.
Again, the way it was framed was that it was my fault and I initiated it.
How did they frame that?
I mean, a seven year old, I had people, I had other people in the neighborhood come up to me and start asking me if I was gay.
Like I remember the word gay in Russian.
That's my first language sounds similar to the word baby blue.
And so I remember someone coming up and asking me like, are you gay?
The gula boy, the gula boy.
And I was like, gula boy, that sounds like, what are you asking me?
And then they had to explain it to me.
And so they framed this whole thing as if it was me, a gay kid, trying to initiate relations with these older boys.
And so that made me very upset.
Damn.
I mean, what did they say?
Did you guys approach them?
Did your mother approach them?
There was like this kind of like community town hall meeting almost in someone's house.
And I remember they were screaming and crying and saying, it was me.
It was all my fault.
