What it is like to be gay in Bergen County
So I did this phone interview with this one young lady who goes to Ramapo College. I discussed what it is like to be gay in high school.
Here are the parts were I am featured. Its a small summary of what is going on in my area GLBT wise. If your too lazy to read those three paragraphs bellow here is the gist. Pretty much. Highschool is, “whatever nothing much going on” while College will be a grand old time.
At Ramapo High School senior Eric Thor, 17, feels the absence of a GSA.
“In my school I’m kind of reserved and I don’t really have myself fully open, but being in a group of people who are also LGBT is really a relief and it’s nice to be with people who don’t care about your sexuality whatsoever,” said Thor. “It would be nice to have a GSA, but I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon.”
Thor cites “lack of interest” as the reason his school doesn’t have a GSA. However, Thor is active in the LGBT community, attending a march for gay marriage in Montclair hosted by Garden State Equality, and looking forward to being a part of the GSA at Rutgers University where he will go next year.
“I don’t have many gay friends that I can relate to about gay relationship issues and stuff like that, it will be nice to be in college and to be around more people that are like me instead of people who are close minded or don’t know what I’m going through,” said Thor.
