    I worked with two gay men that weren’t “always” gay.

    When I first met them I knew they were different. I didn’t care, treated them the same as everyone else.

    when one of them “came out” to me, I told him I realized that from the first day I met him. when he asked me how I knew I told him something like this:

    there is nothing in this world that can’t be perceived with your own eyes and experience. I knew you were different not because of your orientation but because of your personality. it’s not about what you are, but who you are.

    I have an insane OP perception stat and can roll nat 20s all day. that said, 80% of the people you interact with won’t know because they just can’t perceive past a lie, and it is a lie.

    best way to sell a lie is to sell it to yourself first, because it changes your personality, it changes you.

    don’t lose yourself in it though. stay safe out there, wish I could help more.
