Case of Vincent Arroyo: “Casket, Closets, and Careers”
Some might say that Vincent Santiago Arroyo’s career path began with a casket. When he was only three years old, Vincent’s father died a hero’s death. As a firefighter in New York City, Vincent’s father perished on September 11, 2001, while attempting a valiant rescue of workers trapped inside the second tower of the World Trade Center. Although Vincent has but distant memories of his father, he has grown up in awe of him. Many a family gathering has included a moment of silence to honor his father’s heroism and, to this day, Vincent’s mother still lights a candle for her late husband each Sunday before Mass. Now 17 years old and a junior in high school, Vincent works every day after school at the bodega (corner grocery) in order to help his mother with the bills and rarely feels that he has time to do homework. As a result, Vincent maintains mostly Cs and Ds, but his school counselor told him he was still on track to graduate next year and to pursue his dream of joining the military after high school.
Perhaps this dream represents a desire to honor his father’s sacrifice. Perhaps it stems from wanting to also experience the admiration shown to Vincent’s fallen hero. Perhaps it reflects a desire to defend his country from the terrorism that claimed his father’s life. Whatever the rea- son, Vincent has long dreamed of joining the Marines.
Now, though, there is a problem. For several years, Vincent has been fighting an increasing awareness that something’s not right about himself. Although he hates to admit it, he’s figured out that he’s gay. At his most recent meeting with his school counselor, he shares this disappointing news with her and asks her opinion about whether he should continue pursuing his dream of joining the Marines. Vincent knows about the military’s past “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and, despite its recent repeal, has concerns about the military’s long-standing opposition to gay soldiers. Vincent said this wouldn’t be a problem for him right now because he is still “in the closet” and really doesn’t want anyone to know. He wonders, though, how long he can keep the secret.
