Hey! I’m Severin, 14 years old and from Kaufbeuren, a little village near Augsburg [Bavaria, Germany].
Well I’d like to try telling you about my coming-out, that’s not easy for me at all.

It’s been about 3 years ago, I wasn’t just yet 12 and have had two “kindergarten girlfriends” so far.
After them a long and eventfully time began…

My mother and my father were both at the hospital, one after the other,  and fought for their future.
I’ve been thinking a lot and got to know me.  When a friend invited me to a barbecue, everything started off. It was Roman who was there too. We spend the whole evening together and hat a lot of fun. For the following days I couldn’t think about anything but himand met him in school a lot. I really had a crush on him. I came out due to this to my best friend and some classmates, what went really well and encouraged me.

Some weeks later I registered in a gay chat and got to know a cute guy I chatted a long time with. He finally succeeded to conquer my heart that belonged to Roman till then. After out first date I was certain and wanted nothing to stand between us and our relation. That’s why I started coming out “completly”. I came out to my family at my 12th birthday at the beginning of summerholidays. At that time nobody took me and that for real, I’ve been the small, thin boy for them.

I tried again during our vacation in Austria and this time they listened! Still in the summer holidays my parents invited my recently gained friend who I wasn’t able to see until then. My parents got to know him and immediatly took him in their hearts. On the last weekend before school started over I visited him in Regensburg to see his home. Back in school I started totally different, was open about my homosexuality and didn’t get any negative reactions! So I was finally completly “out” and head over heels in love with my boyfriend - which whom I’m still together…

Art, like life, isn’t always beautiful, nor should it be. Art sometimes has to grab up firmly by the back of the head, push us into a pile of dog shit, and say, “SEE THIS? NOW TASTE IT!” If we only view the art that we like, or the art that we find pleasing, then we are doing ourselves a serious disservice by completely ignoring an entire range of expression — the same as if we never expressed anger, hatred, jealousy, or sadness in our own lives. They are part of the human experience, and thus, a part of us. We cannot ignore them. Ugly art, disturbing art, terrorizing art all have places in the museum of life. Art is merely a reflection of our own selves, and if we refuse to view negative or ugly art, we by extension fail to acknowledge our weaknesses as humans and thus fail to improve ourselves. — Raptorschwanz
