The gay starcraft players thread seriously needs the same Mods looking at this thread it's starting to get ridiculous.

I have read so many stories that leave me thinking along the lines of that one quote:

"Learn to appreciate what you have before time makes you appreciate what you had."

I hope that it won't take me an experience of similar circumstances to yours for me to realize what you did.

My condolences to you. I'm happy that you can finally be who you are.
wat.

Determined to prove you were a troll, I went through your post history.

To my amazement, you have a really really good post history.

Sir, I am very sorry for doubting you.

Good read btw, sorry for your loss but you have a good message for everyone - gay or straight.

Spotlighted!!


My thoughts exactly. For some reason I just couldn't believe it. Everything seemed so surreal.

Incredible story and a thoughtful message. Your experience is truly compelling. Best of luck to you, Christian and your family.

I can't say I understand why you didn't tell anyone you were gay for so long. Things seemed to work out for you in the end though. They almost always seem to in the first world

I have parents who would without a doubt understand. A brother who would do nothing, but laugh and tell me he hates me for being better at StarCraft without making an effort. Straight friends who would probably drag me to a gay bar on my 19th birthday, and not leave me alone till I flirted with at least ten guys and I was swooped off my feat.

Yet I still haven't told a soul. I have joked, played with the thought, but I just haven't been able to. It is such a, hard, hard, thing to come out and say. Regardless of the circumstances I would find trouble with it.

Maybe that is just me though? I'm super shy, and care a lot about appearances.

Incredible story, thanks a lot for sharing & best of wishes to all of you.


For you & your bf:

“La Tierra Giro para Acercarnos” – or “The Earth Turned to Bring Us Closer” by Eugenio Montejo

+ Show Spoiler +
The earth turned to bring us closer,
it spun on itself and within us,
and finally joined us together in this dream
as written in the Symposium.
Nights passed by, snowfalls and solstices;
time passed in minutes and millennia.
An ox cart that was on its way to Nineveh
arrived in Nebraska.
A rooster was singing some distance from the world,
in one of the thousand pre–lives of our fathers.
The earth was spinning with its music
carrying us on board;
it didn’t stop turning a single moment
as if so much love, so much that’s miraculous
was only an adagio written long ago
in the Symposium’s score.

this story really made me go "awwww."

i kind of feel you too -- except that i'm straight. but i know how you feel when you're looking at your mom's casket and regretting that you never told her you loved her, and how she died not knowing so much. i feel that same regret everyday when i remember my dad.

this is a truly uplifting story. thanks for sharing.
