Have you ever had a secret? Have you ever known something important - something other people really want to know - and just kept it to yourself? Now imagine that secret was about yourself, and if anyone found out about it, it would completely change your life - maybe for the worse. It might even get you killed. This week: two stories, almost a century apart, about important secrets that are completely unrelated, except for their queerness. HAPPY PRIDE, STRANGERS!
