I think ours was a fairly typical story. We began running into each other more and more often at events around town. We grew closer as friends. Then we began appearing together at events all around town. We added benefits to the growing friendship. I took him to his first ever pride festivals in 2024 and we began traveling the country. We have journeyed together from the moonscape deserts of Utah, to the lush rolling hills of the Alleghenies near to where I grew up. We have visited certain cities and airports so often, that we now find ourselves navigating these places with ease.

We both met each other at interesting times in our lives. I was trying to find some stability after divorcing from my first love, which was my career. I had returned from my hometown with my tail tucked between my legs. Battered by an organization which had seemingly lost control of itself and its core mission, and by my own failing mental and physical health. He was just now peeking out from under his shell into this new and fascinating world he wanted to be a part of. I put his hand in mine and said “you don’t have to do it alone” and he followed, each of us not quite sure what we were doing, what we wanted, what the eventual outcome would be.
