Sam, in his own words: “When I hear myself refer to myself as “a gay man,” I often feel alienated. My interest in one man compared to another feels so different, that I often forget that society sees me as a type. I feel anger toward people that demand me to define myself in a digestible manner, when really my goal is to open up and expand my identity. It seems counterproductive.”
