Gay in Middle School?

Just read this fascinating piece in the NYT about kids coming out of the closet in middle school. Thinking about my own middle schools years in rural Wisconsin it seems all but unimaginable that there could have been anyone "out" in those days. Of course almost all of the friends I had thought might be gay later came out in college- but middle school, no way.

If only it had been possible to even be allowed to recognize that I might be gay, when I was in middle school.... life might have been much less traumatic and dramatic for me.
