I am a real life gay....


Soooo... Im a fool. An idiot. and its been that way for 10 years.

 

10 years since i first slept with a man. But in a world obsessed by labels, and in a world where homosexuality was a sin, i convinced myself that I was bisexual. And it made things easier. Becuase to me, I was at least half "normal" - and it meant that i could live my life in a relatively conventional way.

 

Don't get me wrong - women are beautiful. I like to look, stare, devour their beauty with my eyes. But in fairness, you show me a ripped guy or an incredibly beautiful woman, and you better believe im looking at the guy.

 

So i've had relationships with women - and i should have known then. Sex should be the most natural part of a relationship - instead I had to work for it.

 

So last night, I made my confession to myself. And then again to Paya. And now i'm making it to you...

 

.... Guys... I think I'm Gay

Well I'm glad you finally came over to the rainbow side, it's much much much nicer and more "colorful" on this side ;)

I followed that same train of thoughts some years ago - so I know where you are coming from...

My advice would be to focus on the positive parts of being gay for now, that's how my Sister really helped me :)

So for you that would definately be Paya; So enjoy your time talking or just generally spending together :)

West, your post reminded me of the blog post I wrote back in March to out myself to several of my friends. I re-read it recently and I know that I would not write it in the same way today. I still had a lot of explaining to do. The whole thing felt like a long justification of who I was and what had happened in the last 15 years. When I'm going to out myself to someone else next, I'll be using very different words and expressions. I will be much more positive about it.

 

I think that as your relationship grows, and you feel more comfortable with who you are, you're going to look back on this post in a few months and think: did I actually use the word "confession"? Did that not reek of guilt and sin? And you'll rewrite your last sentence so that it doesn't sound like it's taken from some sort of gay AA meeting... something more along the lines of "Hello world, I'm West, I'm gay and I'm absolutely fine with it".

 

I'm not quite there yet, either... but I'm starting to think about it.

 

Happy self-discovery!

Thanks guys.

 

Im always astounded at the level of support and kindness i receive on this site.

 

I really love the fact that i can come here and find acceptance and support.

 

I get my ego massaged (Mark Arbour thinks I'm adorable :D). I get exceptional advice (Blue, thats you), I get affirmation (thanks Cia). Just when I take myself too seriously, someone is there to mock me just a little bit (Yang)... and then there is the unconditional love and kindness (Paya :D)

 

Sometimes... I just don't have the words...

 

You guys are great
