He was other there, just as he was other at home in the United States.
A gorgeous story with gorgeous description, very much a testament to your style.
This entire thing reminded me of a college roommate many years ago. Part of his mother's side was Native American, and he grew up near a reservation, always too white to be Indian and too Indian to be white, and alienated from everyone by also being gay.
Ultimately, all he could do was move far away and lessen the weight of some of the context and assumptions that made things so challenging and lonely for him. I hope by now he's found the stillness of not feeling like he has to run.
