I'll never understand why gay people feel the need to proclaim their coming out story to the world. I really don't understand why this blog is spotlighted to be perfectly honest. This is a pretty standard coming out story (except for your mother dying which I have to say is incredibly sad). I have been through hard times with regards to my family and I've also had life changing decisions to make, but I've never felt the need to proclaim it to the entire world. Can someone explain why we're still trying to promote awareness for homosexual rights when everyone is already aware? All this attention feels so forced. | ||

Because people may be aware of the concept but there's still huge amounts of prejudice out there? And don't be one of those guys who says "hey I've been through hard times too". You don't get to comment on how easy or hard it is being a minority if you're not of that group. It'd be like a white middle-class guy saying how he doesn't think racism is so tough. | ||

Yeah I guess you don't understand, what with that whole not being gay thing. Perhaps, given it's a blog, which are all about people's personal stories (and the title was something of a give-away) you shouldn't have read his coming out story if you feel that way. | ||

It's very unfortunate that your mother has passed on, she may or may not have accepted you but either way it sucks that she's dead. Bad luck on that one. ...what? Do you know that you can't choose your sexual orientation? | ||

If you were gay, you'd understand. Coming out of the closet is pretty much one of the defining moments of a gay person's life. When you've spent much of your life trying to cover this aspect of yourself up, and then you finally get the courage to tell it to people and be proud of it, it's a really great feeling that you want to tell people about. This rings true for me when it comes to both my being gay and earlier than that, my being an atheist. (I grew up in a very conservative Christian family, so the latter was a bigger deal than I think it was for most people.) In addition, sharing your coming out story is a great motivator/instructor for anyone who's still closeted. Great blog, OP. I imagine it must be tough as hell coming out in an Asian family, because Asian cultures as I understand them are pretty much all quite homophobic. I'm very sorry for your loss, but I'm glad things seem to be working out for you. | ||
