I'd always told myself there's no reason to share that I was gay, but the idea that my silence has social consequences was really driven home this year when I missed an opportunity to change the atmosphere of discrimination in my own home state of Kansas.
Uvijek sam si govorila da nema razloga da  pričam okolo da sam gay, ali pomisao da moja šutnja ima društvene  posljedice stvarno mi je sjela u glavu ove godine  kada sam propustila priliku da promijenim tu atmosferu diskriminacije  u mojoj rodnoj državi, Kansasu.
