Inaugural poet Richard Blanco, whose poem Until We Could was brought to life last week in a gorgeous Freedom to Marry video, speaks to NPR about his coming out process: “I really didn’t end up coming out until much later in life … and what really fascinated me as a writer and as an investigator is, how does that happen? How is it that moment by moment the next notch of courage, the next notch of self-understanding — even though you know you’re gay at 12, 13, 14 [years old], those words can’t even enter your mind. You can’t even have the vocabulary; you don’t say “Gee, I think I’m gay.” No, it doesn’t happen that way. It’s just a slow sort of easing into, and all the little things that propel you to that place, all the people that support and move you an inch in that direction. The moment of coming out is really the end of a story — and the beginning of a new one, obviously, but it’s really the whole life story to get to that moment.”
