Brad Goreskiis proud of who he is.
On Thursday, in honor of NationalComing Out Day, the celebrity stylist shared an emotional post about the struggles he faced in high school.
“I’ve always expressed myself through fashion. I think it was my way of communicating to the world something that I wasn’t yet ready to say,” Goreski, 41, wrote alongside a throwback photo from his teenage days. “This was taken at a high school dance, one of the very few I attended.”
The shot, which features Goreski in a green sequined button-down shirt with yellow suspenders and matching platform sneakers, was especially important to him as he reflected on his life years later.
“This photo makes me happy though because this is me,” he said. “Sequins, platform shoes (I had them custom made), tweezed eyebrows, dancing my heart out. It’s around this time I came out of the closet. And my life finally began. #nationalcomingoutday #tbt”
Goreski recentlytied the knotwith longtime love Gary Janetti in December.
“We are so excited to finally be making it official after 16 years,” the grooms told PEOPLE exclusively. “Having our families celebrate with us in such a beautiful surrounding was everything we wanted it to be.”
