While Greg searches for his 48 Hours videotape, Dylan and Tara tell their coming-out stories. Tara and Dylan came out the old-fashioned way, without the benefit of television. He’s quiet, toweringly tall, with jeans ripped at the knees and shiny Frankenstein shoes. Tara Conroy is fifteen, small, busty, cheerful, with steel studs in both ears. We’re sitting in a living room with two of Greg’s friends. Asked what it was like to discuss something so personal so publicly, Greg smiles.
