Friends first because i thought if they accepted me it would ease the way for telling my parents. I finally told them in my final year at Uni, they forwarded all my stuff by courier to me. I have not seen or spoken to them in 3 years. Luckily i already had a job and was in a relationship at the time and still am. My parents will never have the pleasure of knowing the man i love. I am not sorry i told them while the consquences at the time were extremely painful for me. They cannot accept me for who i am then i am afraid i cannot accept them as my parents.

I'm going to wait until I have a boyfriend that take pictures of us making out and send it to them. Subtly isn't my strong suit. :P I’m not going to officially “come out” to my parents.

They are short bits of memoir from the 1970s, expect for the coming out story which took place on July 4, 1969. (Yes, that long ago!) One story, as my blog notes, was published in a collection by Alyson Books in 2000. The anthology was called Bar Stories and my story was called "My First Pick-Up Line."

Got to love the level of English here too :D "I love petit, androgynous body forms, blues eyes, and an intellect to match" THAT IS SO LIKE ME! Truly the best I've ever read. @Cornor:Good luck!!!

“I love petit, androgynous body forms, blues eyes, and an intellect to match”

THAT IS SO LIKE ME!

Truly the best I’ve ever read.

If I had it to do all over again, I'd have come out as early as I realized myself, and dealt with it as things came up. sure, life beats you up sorta kinda anyway, so my theory is why add denial to that. p.s.s.- i think this is the month "Milk" comes out on DVD. if you haven't seen it, do. too often i heard 'oh, i'm not a Sean Penn fan' as a reason for not seeing the film. i'm not particularly a Sean Penn fan either, altho' i believe he is a good actor. his Harvey Milk in this movie is like no Sean Penn you've ever seen. and on top of that the movie was pretty damn good. i defy you as a gay guy to have fought and stood up for your rights to watch the end of the movie and not have tears streaming down your face. it was quite moving. anyway, my three cents worth. p.s.- i was closeted for WAY too long, which went hand-in-hand with being in denial.

Thanks for taking the time to effectively enlighten me, lighten my day, and give me not only cool boy pics to look at, but songs to listen to, stories to reflect on, and a host of other very cool things. Sorry, you probably get this sort of feedback all the time. But, on the flip side, I do mean it. Thanks, very much. @ conor…. good luck buds! just be honest w/ yourself and avoid pretense whenever possible.

I wonder if any of you happened to catch "Prayers for Bobby" on TV a couple weeks ago. Fortunately the original story happened back around 1982 and much has changed since then, thanks in part to his mother, after she realized just how wrong she was. Oh dear.
