I have the benefit of having had experiences with other guys in the past, but people still tend to see my relationship and assume I’m straight. My wife and I are open about my sexuality (and we have fun conversations about guys we find cute), but I usually just keep it to myself outside of that. It’s something I’d like to be more open about, but it usually just makes my interactions more difficult in both straight and queer spaces.

I commented above about my interactions with the queer community as someone who is “straight passing”, but I wanted to say that I relate to your cancer story too. I was treated for testicular cancer earlier this year and I still feel weird talking about it. The sum total of my cancer treatment was two surgeries and some follow up testing. No chemo, no radiation. I actually had a fairly rare, potentially aggressive form of it too, I just happened to get lucky with what treatment was needed. It feels weird to describe myself as a cancer survivor when my experience was so “easy” compared to most people.
