Nick, his younger brother, came out. Rattray, who knew a few months before the rest of his conservative family, never forgave himself for staying silent while Nick started skipping class, talking back to their parents, experimenting with drugs and threatening to run away.
"I knew what was going on with Nick, but didn't forcefully defend him," Rattray said. "The lack of active rejection of the venom of homophobia is still a tacit endorsement. It's exacerbated by people like me."
More pertinent and informative is how he is going to capitalize on his “concern.”
A TRUE progressive.
