Bisexual Guy That Was Bullied By His Church As A Kid Talks About The First 'Male Ally' That Defended Him

Coming out is tough. Coming out as a 12-year-old is social suicide. Liberating social suicide. When Rafi D’Angelo made his bisexuality public, the world turned against him and he didn’t have anyone by his side. It got so bad, Rafi even attempted suicide.

But right then, during one of the worst periods of his life, the boy made an unlikely ally who gave him the validation and support he so desperately needed. Now, many years later, Rafi publicly thanked the guy on Twitter and his emotional rollercoaster ride of a thread went viral.
