Yeah, most people don't understand my rants. I understand, one's need to keep who you are from people that will be monumentally condemning, because you just don't want the bullshit, rejection, or feelings of depression, etc. I know this. I also know latency... a need to finally stop living a lie and get on with who you are, for the sake of happiness, peace of mind, and self-respect. But what perplexes me, is your statement of "I'm 29.. just found out as of about a year ago (wow.. actually this month..) that I was gay.". You didn't say, coming to terms, ready to admit to myself, or otherwise any thing in the same vein. You said "found out that I was gay" which indicates a sexuality identity given to you by some serendipitous occasion. Which is not true as you have suspected, and struggled with this for years. That is why I loved your intro. I know it is hard coming to terms with your society condemning difference. But, HERE, there is no condemnation. And, therefore you can be honest here. We, will not judge you, unless you ask us too. And, in your intro. it is obvious you find it difficult coming to terms with being a homosexual, so you polished your self-revelation of homosexuality, with less than forthcoming words. I loved it, I found it fascinating!
