- Im a young man from high in the Northeast of USA. I knew straight from the get go when i was in 8th grade that had a high interest in guys. The only issue was the homophobia around me. I didn't want to be harassed or bullied because I didn't want to have to have that extra stress in my life. I awaited 4 years through high school and finally within my senior year of high school on New Years Eve I came out to everyone except my parents. I knew that something was seriously gonna happen if I told them. I awaited till the last second before I headed off to college that I was gay. They didn't on the other hand say anything bad just that they love me for whom I was. They new that I was gay since I was 5 years old. They just wanted me to come out all by myself when I was ready. I was a theater geek for 10 years, sang, danced, love to shop. I always had girlfriends over and loved to shop. I feel so much better now. It has been three years of being out. I am so relieved feels like hundreds of pounds came off my shoulders once I did. All i can say is that come out when your comfortable, talk to people like your family and friends they should care no matter what. Be who you are. Don't change because someone asks you to.
