[Hey guys! Stephen Stills is all up in your device. He's seated in his room, an extremely serious look on his face. This is serious business, okay?]

So I'm not going to tell you guys where babies come from, or which bit goes in which other bit, because either you know that or you're too young to find out. I grew up in Southern Ontario in the 90s, and the sex ed curriculum there is pretty... thorough. But there's one thing no one ever talks about.

If you think you might be gay, don't just fucking ignore it and hope it'll go away. It's not going to change just because you're afraid your parents are going to freak out, or all your friends will ditch you. Or, you know, worse. And for god's sake, don't wait until you're 24 years old to work it out and realise you wasted four years of your life trying to convince yourself you're into a girl you clearly don't have any interest in.

I think maybe if someone'd told me that when I was 15, my life so far would have gone really differently.

[Stephen takes a second before he leans forward and shuts his device off.]
