Two weeks into being a lightly paid pro comedian and comedy had already treated me better than the Church I'd given two decades to, and the parents who, you know, physically made me. And that totally rocked my world. I'd had no idea that there was anywhere that being gay wasn't a deal breaker; I was out in the real world on my own for the first time, trying to figure out if anything was at all safe. It's not like I had any queer castmates saying, "It gets better!" It was just this group of straight people not being violently disgusted by me or worried for my eternal soul. My mind was blown.
