Sage Akouri was attending an all-girls school in Melbourne when, at age 14, they first came out as gay to their strict Lebanese parents not that they wanted to.
At the time, Sage was in the early stages of privately exploring their sexuality with a close friend when their father installed a recording device on the home phone, so he could listen back to Sage s calls.
