My life has made a complete turnaround, I remember a while ago I was depressed and I hated myself and when I made my own journey at 18 I realized I was gay, I wanted to be sure and so I researched so much and now I am here at 23 this week, and I love myself and can see all my negatives and I accept them. One thing I also can see is how open I have become about my gayness. I am so happy that when I go out and buy gay movies, I smile and I feel proud about who I am, when I go out wearing nail polish I am proud to be me. Yes my family hurt my feelings, but out there in the world I can be myself, I can wear my pink clothes, I can wear my nail polish and I can be happy when I buy gay themed stuff, buying my yaoi anime I instantly smiled. I love being gay. You know what, I feel like I can stand up and look the whole world in the eye and say, "I'm gay and I am happy." Because that is the truth, before I accepted myself I was a little cold and unhappy with my life because I have a feeling, I knew that this wasn't who I was. Now I don't even have to act, because I'm happy. "I'm queer and I am here and guess what marriage equality in Australia would make me a hundred times happier." I am super proud of being gay and I want to stand up and tell the whole damn world.
Congratulations man! It's awesome that you're gaining more confidence. I hope you have a very gay day
