It was 15 years ago this month when I came out
as a homophobe to my co-workers, Matt and Larry. Since they had a beautiful, loving relationship together, it was easy for me to see that I simply had a childish understanding of what "being gay" meant. Then we became "super-friends" and spent hundreds of hours being 20-something together until I moved away and lost contact with them. My life was changed. The end.

Thank you for the story. I hope one day you can find them again.
