Brandon,
How gratifying to learn there are guys like you in the younger generation. What you attempted to do would attract a great amount of attention from several quarters, as has been pointed out, but it's up to you concerning how far you want to go. It can be a rough ride, but for gays to achieve strides, it's going to take the efforts of people like you. Even if you decide not to seek vindication for your efforts that were cut short, thanks many times for having courage. There will come a day when you will recognize how important you are.
