Queer Maria.

Alex Gaskarth always knew he was different, however cliche that sounds. He remembers putting lipstick on in his mom's room back in England and running to wash it all off whenever he could hear footsteps coming up the stairs. Somehow, he knew it wasn't normal. No other little boys did it. No other little boys idolised fashion models in mommy's magazines. But it wasn't all that bad in England. Maybe it was because he was really young then but if he ever wanted a doll or was found absent-mindedly wandering into the girls' departments of clothing stores, people usually just shrugged it off, saying things he didn't understand about growing out of it. Whatever "it" was.
