The year was 2012, and I was in the United States on an exchange program as part of my master's degree. The professor assigned to mentor me was a gay man in his sixties who, over the next few months, would become a role model for the type of adult man I would like to become: intelligent, welcoming, and free. During the time we spent together, he shared many stories about his life with me, including one I would like to tell you today.
