One
of the most significant and important events
in my life was coming out.
Not
only did it save my sanity but I felt it also
saved
me spiritually. After accepting my sexuality
for my self, and exploring it in every possible
way I could find, (OMG the 80's were fun) I
realized that there was still an emptiness to
fill.
Being
out allowed me the opportunity to meet Joe.
It became clear at that moment that he was the
part of my life I had been looking for.
"Coming
out" is a very powerful step in anyone's
life but one that is not really taken alone.
The consequenses of facing who you really are
and acting on it has repercusions in every aspect
of your life and the people that you care about.
And the ones that care about you.
Once
I found I could openly have a wonderful relationship
with a man in an unenlightened society, I felt
that by example, we could make life easier for
others.
There
are so many kids being bullied, intimidaed,
tortured or just being frightened into conformism,
that they never seek out help or even know that
it is available for them. They may not realize
that others have or are living through the same
fears and struggles they are suffering. And
most are not old enough to realize that regardless
of any mean things they may have heard their
parents say int he past they may change their
mind if they realize that their own child is
having to face life with the same situation
they are mocking. Kids like this find only hopeleness
and take the wrong path.
It
is with that purpose that we created this website.
