I had planned to keep a daily journal of my Coming Out process for my own piece of mind, but it seems I've missed the last few days. Life does tend to get in the way. Deadlines for for my freelance...

Today was good. I didn't actually get to talk to my brother, he was on a date tonight. However, my parents seemed happy today. They joked, they smiled, I think they are realizing that the world...

Today was pretty routine, which is good. I noticed my parents slept through the night, which is a first since they found out. I was even able to have a conversation with them about our days without...

I woke up this morning with the same thought I usually do "How am I going to tell my parents that I'm gay?" Then I remembered, it's done, the question I had asked myself for a decade was asked (and...

Its my first day after coming out to my parents. Sadly my mom says she and my dad were up all night, unable to sleep. So obviously this is distressing them a bit. My mom for her part acknowledges...

I've been feeling the built up emotion lately, the "I'm going to jump out of my skin" reaction a lot of people on this board talk about. Thanks by the way for giving the foresight to recognize just...

Well Mr. Bully kept up his texting today. And I spelled it out for him "It's not in the cards". Being direct seems to be effective, he got the hint. Albeit he said the casual hookup was still okay......

This one is generally Frustrating. Mr Bully (read previous entry) has begun texting me and getting a little flirty. I am trying to drop hints saying I don't want anything more than the thin...

I say this is a frustrating post, but it isn't entirely, not really. I went to a 4th of July party at a friends house from college, and I had a great time with all my friends. My triumph of the...

I told my best friend from home today that I am gay. She is a hyper-Christian and I was afraid of her response. Her reaction? "Hey, I'm Bisexual!" My coming out to her ended up being a joint coming...

I have decided that I am going to have the "talk" with the parents fairly soon. However, last time i tried to come out verbally to someone, I lost my nerve VERY quickly. Therefore Ive got a solution...

I work in Manhattan, and although there is a bustling gay community, they're never on the surface during the day. Today I walked past two guys smiling and holding hands. No one batted an eye, they...

I recently created an OK Cupid Account and got the following email today:We just detected that you're now among the most attractive people on OkCupid. We learned this from clicks to your profile...

I am so frustrated with my family. They received an evacuation order for hurricane Irene, but told me "We're going to ride it out, it's not going to hit us". I screamed and cursed and pleaded, but...

So, if you read my last entry you know the sticky situation between me and my soon-to-be roommate. Well it just got even more complicated. Our 3rd roommate just got offered a job on the set of the...
