This blog is happy and sad at the same time. Happy for OP's courageous decision, yet sad that in the modern day world, it is actually difficult for people to reveal something perfectly normal about themselves. Just says a lot about the society we live in.

Just today I was thinking about how sad it is that none of our prominent community members have come out. This made me feel a lot better. Sorry for your loss, I lost my mother suddenly few years ago too and know how much pain you're in. It's good to have someone by your side in times like that. Take care of each other bros.

Your alias doesn't leave much to the imagination (you sort of gave it away by calling yourself that).

Anyway, good luck to you.

Ah, I'm glad this was spotlighted because I missed it before. This is a wonderful blog, I really enjoyed reading this, and after just having watched a really depressing movie, this was a nice thing to read.

Hi I have been reading TL for a while but I just registered to give my support and kudos to you. It's so touching it's like a chick flick. It reminds me of a movie where the dad is a retired taiwanese army officer. gl hf

Mad respect. One of the best things I've read on this site. My brother's gay and I've watched him struggle for years trying to tell those around him. Defs gonna pass this along for him to read.

I am gay, I came out to my mom and dad late in life also,

I did not allow my self to act on my attractions when in high school and in part I was uncertain . My friends hooked me up with a girl with out me knowing in my junior year. It lasted 2 months before she broke it off. She was the aggressor as far as kissing but did not do much for me. She said that I never wanted to "do stuff". I though we did things all the time, movies and the like. I never knew what the meant by "stuff" but it was not just hanging out.

I joined the National Guard right out of high school, I needed money for collage and it was the best way. I while studding to be a Intelligence analyst I met a guy in my class who took interest in me. When walking back for the PX (post - exchange aka store) he told me. " you know I am gay right? well, you're cute for a "strait" guy". I did not know what to say, I was blushed, yet did not admit any thing.


Later that day I was getting ready for bed and I jumped in the shower. He lived on a different floor in the barracks. I herd the door open then close again. I thought it was my room mate, I spoke out "I am in the shower"

But the voice that responded back was the gay guy. He had a towel on which he dropped as he stepped in the shower with me.
I kept trying to lie even then, I told him "What are you doing!" but "anatomy" contradicted what I said. We dated for 6 months until our training ended.

When I went back home I was ready to come out to my family and go to college. My parents had divorced wile I was gone. I came out to my mom who thought it was a false faze.
She thought it best if I was forced through hardship I would tell the truth and find a nice girl.
So with only a part time job as a week end warrior I was kicked out of the house.
I had to take a full time job and never could attend collage. My dad became a different person after the divorce. He was all was distance yet he became a person I would not other wise associate my self with.

I meet my boy friend 3 years ago, Tyler.
His mom and dad love him and we all are very close.

Tyler and I wanted to move in together but he was still in collage.
So Tyler's dad helped us buy a foreclosed home. The house was a wreck but we got it for $56K. Tyler and I spent our nights and weekends making repairs over the course of 2 months. We moved in but still had money issues. I put the house up for sale through a realtor. Ir sold in 3 weeks for $107K. We paid Tyler's mom and dad back and moved in to a apartment.

I am going to school to get a realtor's license and use the profits form the sell to flip houses. I hope soon that I can provide Tyler with the life he deserves.

Great story man. Really sorry about your mom.

I know being gay and coming out of the closet is a big deal to you - and of course it is, it's your life ..

... but you should know that there are plenty of straight people out here that it is "no big deal" to.

ie. plenty of us don't give it a second thought. We are going to like you/not like you - be friends/not be friends with you - for who you are and could care less whether you are straight or not.

Probably a lot more than you think.

If its not fun I dont want it.
