What It's like Being Gay in a Small Northwestern Ontario City

I'm openly gay and have been since I was 17. Before that, I used to identify as bisexual from the time I was 13. Y'know, dated a few girls and only had one boyfriend that lasted a month but then took some time and figured out who I was and went from there. But honestly, being gay in a small town really sucks, especially when you're in the middle of nowhere.
