February 2- Today after school my best friend pulled me aside and told me that he had something important to tell me. I followed him not knowing what was about to come. After a long period of silence, he blurted out “I’m gay.” I just stood there in shock and I just stared at him. I didn’t know what to say. How did I not know this? My thoughts were racing and I just didn’t know how to feel. My best friend is gay?
February 4- I have been thinking a lot over the past couple of days and I’m still not sure how I feel. I haven't talked to him since he told me and I don’t know if I can ever talk to him again.

February 14- Today I was scrolling through Twitter and I saw a Tweet that contained a poem written by someone who is gay. I read through it and it was actually very eye opening. It talked about the struggles that gay people go through and how they are treated by the rest of the world and I feel bad that I didn’t see this sooner. Am I treating gay people the same way this poem
