Being rooted in a strong West Indian culture that was against homosexuality, my sexual feelings were quite the contrary. I felt wrapped up in chains and locked without a key to release myself from the question of “the foundation” that was taught when I had those “unacceptable feelings.” I battled the most after I had raised 3 children “in adulthood.” I needed those chains to be unlocked. After intense thoughts, one thing stood out the most: I can’t make everyone happy. I’ve been out “fully” after 4 years and marching in the Pride Parade 3 years running.
