Episode Notes

Today's guest is a 30 year old immigrant and veteran.  Bryan hails from a Roman Catholic family and moved to the United States.  He went and joined the  Navy after high school and navigated his time in service during the "Don't ask Don't Tell" days.  Bryan grew up being told homosexuality was wrong and hearing negative remarks from his family members solidified his internal turmoil.   Much of our conversation revolves around not feeling accepted and how we can learn to open up and accept ourselves.
