Yes! I happen to be gay. I came out to the love of my life March 23, 2008. I forgot to mention that I'm gay. Oh it''s no big deal! I'm quite comfortable with my sexuality now. I've known I was gay since I was 13. I had a crush on this boy in middle school and I disregarded it as years went by. I also had another crush on a boy. This perplexed me back then. I did not get it at all.
For years, I considered myself straight. In 2005-2006, I thought I had "gay tendencies." I was getting closer and closer to coming out. Then I found my partner online on a forum in 2007 and I was totally in love with him. I had to come out to him in 2008. He was about to find a partner and then I got to him first. He is my first and only partner. I was his first partner as well.
Homosexuality should be accepted more and more in today's world. It is mind-boggling that homosexuality is not accepted by people. Actually it is mind-boggling that people who are in the LGBT realm are not widely accepted and it's controversial. We live in the 21st century! I mean, c'mon! Things should be much better in the 21st century. Maybe it'll get better in the 23rd century! We'll see! I don't know. Okay, anyway. I'm not gonna rant and rave here. This story is about my homosexuality.
I was really not that comfortable with my homosexuality when I found out about it when I was 13 (which was in 1997-1998). I thought it was really bad and I was quite nervous about it. I know there were some homophobic people out there and I was afraid I would get beaten up for it. Thankfully I have not been beaten up for it.
One day in 2009, I did get bashed for being gay in 2009. My partner was also bashed for being gay as well. He cried and I didn't like it at all. Unfortunately, my partner and I are not on the best of terms right now. It's way complicated beyond belief and maybe I'll go into detail about it in a future blog post. I don't know, it's super ultra mega personal. I'll discuss it whenever I feel comfortable.
One of the things that people are shocked about me is my homosexuality. It shouldn't be shocking at all. Am I shocked that you're heterosexual? No, I am not. You shouldn't be shocked about me being a homosexual. I remember one guy I met on MySpace and he was not convinced that I was gay. OK, I'm not that stereotypical looking gay guy. I'm a bit more masculine when it comes to my physical appearance. I'm working on having a better physical appearance, but I'm not going to be a stereotypical-looking gay person.
Whoa! This was my longest blog post! I hope to write more long ones like this. I think long posts like these are great.
