This is what blogs are made for in my opinion. Sharing information with people in the hopes that they can learn from it instead of learning it the hard way like you have.

Sorry for your loss and congratulations on taking the first step.
Anything can be acheived through persistence and thought

This is the first blog on teamliquid that i've actually been moved by, all I want to say is good for you, being proud of who you are. I hope other people in similar situations can read this story, and realize that they should publicly be who they are.

As a straight guy, I can't say that I understand the perspective of a gay person too clearly at times. But this absolutely was one of the most inspirational passages I've ever read anywhere. I can relate in every way to the give and take aspect of your relationship, right down to the nitpicky details like StarCraft (My girlfriend will not play it at all xD) and Super Smash Bros. (She kicks my ass so bad). We both love Harry Potter and our first kiss was so shocking to me that I spilled her ice cold coffee all over the front of my pants. This definitely gave me some simple insight to that and I love that the two worlds are actually not that far apart.

As for coming here and posting your story, you have some serious guts, sir. I respect that immensely.

Good luck, have fun as they say. ^_^

I am sorry for you loss and i wish you the best. This was an inspiring read and i almost cried, but the end of you story made me smile. I love happy endings even though, technicly this is just the end before a new beginning. Keep your head high!

Your story reminds me of a poem a read some time ago.

+ Show Spoiler +
"When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit."

I try not to curse on team liquid cause I'm not sure the exact rules on it and normally have no need to use them, but I must make an exception.
That story was fucking touching. It didn't just touch me, it touched the shit out of me.
I mean in all seriousness and with complete respect. Thank you.

Great story. I had death of family close to me as well, and developed a serious drug addiction. So, your story, particularly about your mother, is touching.

What I really want to know, is about how your country listed is Spain. Reading this, I could swear this happened in America, but your country is listed as Spain, and I have actually spent quite a bit of time in Spain. I know they are quite tolerant of homosexuality (right?), and quite a 'party' place, so I'm wondering how tolerance went over there. Unless you just happen to live in Spain now? In which case, how is it being gay there?

I mean I can maybe, maybe see someone yelling "fags!" in the south of the US, or outside metro areas in the country, but it's a bit harder to imagine in cities (unless your in a black/hispanic neighborhood) and some of the larger states out of the south, and I can't imagine that occuring in Spain.

Gl in the future.... One thing though:
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.


you obviously dont understand because you are not gay and thus you cannot comprehend what they have gone through to get to this point (the point of proclamation).
