Drew Droege: Being ‘Out’ on Campus in the 90s

“Almost nobody was out…. when we were there at Wake, we were all kinda not really much of anything. And um, and we all… I think there was a certain safety in that. There were only about three or four “out” gay friends of ours in the department…. it wasn’t like we felt repressed or oppressed in order to not be able to come out as much as it was just not really talked about.”
