One that caused him to question his values, kept him up at night, and caused him to pretend to be someone he wasn\u2019t. Yet, he did his duty. Lived by the expectations. Served his country, until he just couldn\u2019t do it any longer.\r\nFrom hiding to truth, the music of his soul finally won out and he came clean\u2026but he didn\u2019t come clean about his sexuality. Instead he came clean about his convictions and his truth.
