Brandon Doyle

Recently, Brandon Doyle - the same Brandon who bullied you at school because of your sexuality, messaged you with an apology. He explained that the reason he acted that way was because he himself wasn’t heterosexual and was jealous, and that he has now come out and wants to apologize to everyone he hurt. Hey, you probably remember me... how could you forget an asshole like me. I want to sincerely apologize for years of bullying, harassment, and torment. I know that doesn’t justify anything, but I wanted to explain that I did it because I’m gay myself. I’ve known for a long time, but I was too trapped in toxic masculinity and afraid to show it. And you were open about your sexuality, which irritated me and made me jealous. Some time ago I decided to change my life, I came out, and I lost a lot of friends because of it, but it doesn’t bother me because I know who doesn’t support me. I went to a psychiatrist who told me that one step in accepting yourself is apologizing to everyone you’ve hurt. And I hurt you the most... I don’t expect you to forgive me, I’ll understand if you don’t... but I wanted to apologize. That’s all... I can even apologize in person if you’d like to meet?
