Glad to be gay

It IS great to know who you are isn't it!

 

I want to get to the place where I believe what you are saying for myself. Not there yet, hope to be.

 

In wierd kind of way I'm glad... I'm glad that I can love and really enjoy sex properly now, when I never did before. It's such a cliche, but songs make sense and I feel in touch with the human race in a way I never did when I was hiding in the closet. So I'm glad I can love, and if I'm gay to do it then so be it. I'd rather that than not at all.

Think I'm a hippy at heart!

 

It's great being gay and understanding and realising I am gay was the best thing to happen to me so far. The "perks" that come with being gay are still yet to come, and I'm going to enjoy my first kiss with a guy a lot more than the kisses with girls.

 

It truly is great to be gay especially since I hate children.

 

Yeah I agree completely. I feel like I've gone through a journey that I wouldn't have it if I were straight, a journey of self acceptance.

I feel so content with myself right now and the only hurdle I have to face is telling my parents.

 

XD

@Lewis - I'm in the exact same situation as you, but knowing how my parents feel about homosexuals, I'm not sure whether they deserve to know or not.

 

We can do it. I'ts important to tell our parents so we can move on with our lives.

 

I feel exactly the same. I've been telling people like my parents that I'm glad I'm gay, I wouldn't want to be straight, I'm very happy with the way I am and I wouldn't be me if I weren't gay. Plus I just love being able to really appreciate good looking guys, who'd want to give that up???

 

I agree with all of the above, only to me there is nothing inherently good or bad about being gay.

The good part is that I can now express my love wholeheartedly, without reserve, and that I can love someone like never before. And if that someone has to be a "he", then so be it!

 

I wish it was that easy, I really do. The advice I've got from another adult is to wait until I am at least 18 so that I can cope and will no longer need their support, because of how my dad will react. You're right though, and when the time comes I'll be able to move on and it'll be up to my parents if they want me involved in their lives or not.

 

Thanks for the great post, wrhla!

I was feeling something similar the last week too. No particular reason, but I just caught myself walking a little taller, smiling more, feeling special in a way that I never have. I thought, "I love being gay. I love being me." Sounds cheezy, but true!

 

I'm almost 20 and still struggling :/

 

So, I know it's weird, but when I told my husband that I wanted a divorce because our marriage wasn't working it was sort of like my version of "coming out". I know it's not the same, but humor me. I was proud to be honest about it! I was proud that was reclaiming my right to have sex with someone that actually wanted to have sex with me! So even though the coming out part is up to him if he ever decides he's gay, I had my own version, because I had to stand up and say, "this thing we've got going is a farse. Neither of us enjoy it. Can I please go have sex with someone that's into me?" It's kind of the same things that a person "coming out" has to say. I know it's such much more than that, too, but it's similar at least in that.

 

I too am Glad to be Gay ride:

 

Happymom- You Go Girl!!!!

I'm relieved to be gay, as in I'm glad I'm gay and that there's nothing actually wrong with me, as I used to think.
