The guy came out as gay but wouldn't let people know he wasn't a citizen ... that's deep.

I remember when he came out as gay I thought he was brave. Apparently I didn't know the half of it. (I was a year ahead at MVHS)

I'd keep in mind that this is the bay area which tends to be pretty gay friendly.

The Bay Area has gay friendly "adults". High school and below is a completely different can of worms. Being unPC is unfortunately a trait. And I don't mean to rag on all high school students but the most popular, and vocal, ones can be downright shits. And they are the ones that set the tone.
