James Clementi: "Letters to My Brother"

James Clementi: "I'm not sure when I first realized my younger brother was gay. I think I knew he was for as long as I knew I was. I had no idea how to bring it up; it was just something we left dangling in the air, unsaid. I was open about my [sexual orientation] with friends, but around my family there was this barrier that felt unbreakable."
