A freshman in college, the first semester has been an eye opener. All the men I could dream of were willing to be with me, and here I was going home for the holiday break. Home, where my parents don’t even know I’m gay. To my surprise, an old family friend, just a few years older than me, knows what I’m thinking and invites me to an ugly sweater party. Greeting me alone, he’s ready to stuff my stocking for the holidays!
