Coming Out Support

What if I come out and my parents/friends don’t like it? Suppressing sadness or anger can lead to a lot more pain. If the person you tell doesn’t react as you’d hoped, and it hurts you, allow yourself to feel the pain in the moment. Don’t worry about staying positive, if you’re hurt, let it [...]

Growing up, I always knew there was something different about me from all the other boys. I was more emotional and intact with my feeling. I was a loner for a large part of my childhood, not seeming to be able to connect with other boys my age. Once again, I was different and at [...]

I could give all kinds of excuses why I chose not to come out, truth be told I was scared..I found a way to be me, but that way became extremely destructive! I became a dancer, and a model. It was a way I could be with women and not feel ashamed. That career choice [...]
