I am a 32-year old male. A brief history; I came out when I was 23 and I don't think it could have gone any worse. It culminated in me...
Me and my family were extremely close before I came out. Me and my mother talked every day. After I came out though, I remember my mom telling...
I was out to my parents back in 2009-10. Long story short, afterwards they harassed me relentlessly and eventually manipulated me into going back...
1) My parents. I went through a very traumatic experience whenever I came out the first time back in 2009-10. It was so traumatic that I don't...
I would agree. It wouldn't chance right away but there would at least be hope without my dad in the picture. That's a complete hypothetical...
Thanks for your story. I can actually relate and the situations are more comparable than you think (except for me its reversed). My father is...
Thanks for this advice. This is honestly what I am leaning towards now. That's three more years of my life that will technically be wasted, but...
I was very close to coming out but am starting to get cold feet. I've told two friends, one accepted and the other did not. For the backstory,...
Thanks for this. I find it ironic that such an article was published by Focus on the Family, one of the most anti-gay and pro-conversion therapy...
Thanks for this. I know from my past experience, when I was openly gay prior to conversion therapy, that a continued relationship with them will...
I am 31, almost 32 in August. I have been out before when I was 23 and 24, but to appease my fundamentalist parents I went back in and did the...
I live in Oklahoma City. I would say the general environment here is you have to be very aware of your surroundings and be discreet when not in...
Yeah this pretty much answers it. I think the best way to try to make this happen would be to become friends with a guy who is touchy-feely by...
I have one guy friend who in just the right situation, I might be able to pull something off. It would have to be the right situation though and...
Good points. I definitely understand there is a fine line between what is appropriate 'guy eiquettte' and what is over the line and it varies...
Thanks for responding. I know straight guys do cuddle from time to time. I did it at a New Years party in 2012 with a friend, but we were...
I am a closeted asexual gay male and one of the things I am most attracted to is bromance behavior...things straight guys do that blur the...
Thanks. I have three more years here and then I am out. In terms of metropolitan areas, OKC is by far the least LGBT-friendly in the nation....
I am personally worried about Russian-style anti-gay laws. I honestly don't think Trump himself is anti-gay. He is not a religious man and...
I live just north of you, in Oklahoma. I am stuck here for three more years but after that, I am out. I would move to a blue state. Portland...
