i thought this was going to be some thread on how youve ruined your life collecting toys.
its sad when people have to live hidden like this. im in oklahoma and a couple of my friends have moved to chicago and seattle to be somewhere more tolerant and they are so much happier. its certainly something to consider if there is any way you can afford to just go for it. |

Hey fella, it took some guts to be honest with yourself and to your friends/family.
Life is too short to be unhappy, but sometimes fathoming yourself in an environment rife with intolerance and negativity can make things seem next to impossible. It good to hear you have loved ones close by who support you. Hopefully, this is the start of a happier and more fulfilled life for you. I wish you all the best, brother.

Thank guys, life is actually getting better. My brother and his wife have been very suportive her especially. She pretty much kept me from destroying my connection to them. Was actually cornered by one of the women in the office two fridays ago and she asked me what the hell was going on with me being so moody. So i thought fuck it lets get this ball rolling and just straight out told her. In 9 days time she has become the greatest help to me on sorting thru things that i was blowing way out of perportion. As for living here im moving with family in a year like weve wanted to for the last 10. She is from seattle and says i should move there in 9 months when she goes back but i cant live without my family so what can you do.

You just focus on being positive and good to your body and your emotions. Never be ashamed of who you are.

I agree with everybody else! It's great you've opened up and come to terms with who you are. It's awesome that you have such supportive family and friends too. I also agree it might be better to relocate to an area which is more tolerant of gay people. Maybe try it out for six months to a year, then move back to your family? Just a thought.

I too thought this would be a thread about not wasting time chasing after toys your whole life. But that's another topic I guess...
As for you Richard, good for you. I'm glad to see the positive and encouraging posts from other members too. As others have said, life is way too short and bad things are always just around the corner. But so are the GOOD things, you just never know what will come, so ENJOY life and be as happy as you can. I too am stunned by how people in this day and age still cling to hatred of others for no reason other than they are different from themselves. Whether it's religion, skin color, culture difference, sexual orientation, you name it, people find a way to hate it. It's a very ugly aspect of mankind. Good luck and all the best Richard. Be who you are and who you WANT to be. |

He is finishing school in December so hes been offered a really good paying job up north so we will be heading that direction. Ive got to stay here for at least a year to stock pile money and get my girl Suicide Victoria fixed shes been on a killing spree the last month and has a lot of body damage. As for being safe im ok was at dollar general Saturday and just standing in line starring at nothing when when a young redneck came up to me and asked me why I was starring at his woman. I told him trust me im not. Then the retard says what she not good enough to look at. Dude just go away im not in the moods for this. The little shit shoved me back with both hands before I knew it hes laying on the floor holding his throat gasping for air. I guess I punched him in the throat. Cops didn't arrest me the manager said it was self defense so they let it slide. The only thing I could think during this is wouldn't it be great if he knew he got his ass kicked by a 41 year old gay man. |

I think your experience this weekend at DG should be a figurative way of looking at things, TV - When intolerance rears it's ugly head, turn the other cheek...when it pushes you, knock it the frak out!
You're stronger than you give yourself credit for, buddy. This thread is a perfect example of that. |

Good for you man! I hope things get better for you. No one should live life hating themselves, especially if it is caused by other people.
I was born and live in Northern KY, just a handful of miles south of Cincinnati, but I know exactly the types of yokels you are dealing with. In my college years, I remember going to parties at friends' houses deeper into KY, and good Lord, there were some horrible white trash that showed up. I couldn't talk to these people because every other sentence out of their toothless mouths was a racial slur of some kind. Needless to say, I stopped going to that crap. F' those ignorant F's! My niece came out like a decade ago and talked about how awful people were to her. She got moody and angry and close to suicidal too, just as you described. She ended up moving to Asheville, NC with her girlfriend at the time. There is a pretty decent gay population there and she loves living there. The location is beautiful too. We try to visit her every year and we've really noticed her attitude is completely different now, for the better. I really hope you are able to do the same for yourself bro
