He felt different from his father and brothers, who loved to hunt and go camping, and out of place in the rural, conservative small town where he lived. Back then, blending in was more important than feeling seen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo, when Chasten realized he was gay, he kept that part of himself hidden away for a long, painful time.
