i'm sorry for your loss. i know this isn't the main point but the part on your mother just made me cry a bit. i remember as a child i'd cry thinking "what if i was in this exact situation" and that part just moved me. thanks for this.

i had tears in my eyes reading this, im completely serious.
maybe because my relationship to my parents difficult as well.

as im thinking about this again i admit how awesome TL is. Such a thing, posted in the INTERNET after all, is not constantly trolled but instead spotlighted and read by thousands of people who write positive comments about it. wow.

In the words of the great Sean Plott, "There's nothing cooler than being passionate about the things you love." I think this exemplifies that concept extremely well.

I am not going to lie. After reading your first paragraph...I seriously thought this blog was an attempt to troll gay people. After reading it......I could not have expressed what you just did in better words.

Moral of this blog: Never be afraid to express what you love.

wow, that was a really good read, I'm glad you shared it with us.

one of my closest friends from undergrad turned out to be gay actually, and he only told me recently (so five years after). I never suspected it, but of course, I couldn't care less. It was funny because he told it so casually. We were talking about whether the bartender was gay, then he said, "yes", and I asked him how he knew, he said he was too. LoL.

Anyway, good luck with your life; I'm glad your dad finally accepted your sexuality, props to him too, it's not an easy thing to do for an asian parent.

An aside --> I've always wondered how much closet people who are the minority try to blend in with the majority. Where does it snap for them? Is there a certain under-the-radar signal that closet homosexuals send to potential partners?

I just realized that briefS is a pun because of BoxEr, and it's like "Boxers or briefs" for types of underwear. Well played, sir. well played.

Also, this was an inspirational article and I hope things go well for you in the future.
