The Closet

This is the final continuation of my biography. Mainly because I am tired of doing my biography and want to get to real posts.

Well, my parents told me they were scared I was gay and I now felt I had to live in the closet for the rest of my life. I started to learn a few people from my high school were coming out, but I really didn’t know any of them. I continued throughout high school trying to let the gay jokes just slide off. Gay jokes hurt even if they aren’t directed at you if they are said with maliscious intent.

I proceeded to go to college and it wasn’t until my freshman year that I met someone who was gay. He too was in the closet and shortly after I met him came out. The only issue was right after he came out, he quit the organization I was involved in, and seeing as we weren’t great friends we haven’t kept in contact since.

The biggest thing I have wanted throughout all of this was simply someone to talk to, but I felt I didn’t have anyone to talk to.

Over the last 6 years I have been constantly considering when and how to come out. I am still thinking about it, but expect to be mostly out of the closet by the end of 2007. Over this time, I accidentally came out to one friend. We never really have talked about it and we are still friends. As it wasn’t something I was ready to talk about then, we didn’t talk.

Well after all of this and my experiences, and still having no one to talk to, I decided to start this site. When I started this site not only did I want to share my story to let other gays know they were not alone, but to me it is someone to talk to.

Over the next few weeks, I will begin blogging about current events in my life.
