Today we have a follow up with Carl Wright, with whom we did a part 1 podcast episode a few weeks back. We’re also joined by his father and Scott’s brother, Steve Wright, to go deeper into their story, which we discussed in that previous episode. He tells about his journey of not fitting in or connecting to the activities his father enjoyed and feeling different, experiencing strong same gender attraction since a young age. At first Steve was worried about sharing his story and putting unnecessary pressure on his kids, but now he and Carl see the value of sharing Steve’s journey with the world, emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself and discovering who we truly are. This conversation is a story of love within a family, both generations, and between Steve and the people around him.

“I don’t think the cookie cutter experience teaches you anything…If you think that you have a cookie cutter life, you’ve got another thing coming. Just wait, something’s coming. Something will happen. Everybody goes through it, it’s not something that we can ever get away from.” 26:57
