I came out on March 14, 2015, a special day because I love math and am a math teacher, and Pi to four decimal places is 3.1415. There was no planning for this. It was completely random. And a couple of years that followed, I came out to San Francisco to teach math and coach soccer to English Learners and housing and food insecure adolescents that gave me a true sense of purpose and happiness.
I grew up in a very white, conservative, and homophobic environment. An out athlete was nonexistent. 'If we find out that you are gay, we'll f-ing kill you.' From that moment on, I found myself in 100% survival mode.
