ANN ARBOR – In a recent update, Ann Arbor Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Jeanice Kerr Swift announced that the district is moving forward with plans to hold in-person graduation ceremonies this year.

In June 2012, on the eve of my high school graduation, I came out of the closet as gay. In the five years that have passed, I’ve continued on a journey of self discovery, and I’ve learned to embrace my multiple (sometimes conflicting) identities with pride.
In honor of June being pride month, I’d like to share my coming out story in five key moments, all of which happened here in Darien. I hope in sharing my experiences, I may help to broaden our community’s perception of what it could mean to be from Darien.
