As a kid, Will was passionate about music, particularly orchestra and piano. But the community preferred sports as a hobby for boys. Will wrestled and eventually became co-captain of the soccer team in high school. He couldn?t allow himself to ask, even in his own mind, whether he might be gay. He believed, as he later explained to me, that ?God knows your thoughts, and if you even think something like that, God could strike you dead and send you to hell.? He also feared what might happen to him if people suspected he was gay. ?Kids got shipped off to homes,? Will recalls. ?There was a girls home and a boys home. If a girl got pregnant in high school, or someone suspected you were gay, they sent you away.? His sister, Jo Ann Trout, says that to Will?s parents, being gay was ?like never being born to the family.? (Will?s parents did not respond to repeated requests for comment on this article.)
