    Beautiful, although it broke apart at the 'you met people like you' picture. There is a huge gay party happening in London at the end of this month, and I'm looking at how I can attend - anyone else? :slight_smile:

    It was me until the end as I've never met personally anyone that was LGBT that I could relate to or be out with. I'm not out, that's the problem. I wish there was a big gay party going on here, lol.

    I feel ya. I told that guy at work I had a huge crush on... and I've never hung out with him again since lol. The real reason is because he's such a douche at work and everyone dislikes him and I'm not going to put up with someone who is two faced.

    At first, I thought "oh, I came out and didn't really think much of it...." Within a few pictures, it caught me. This is so me, and that is the same through all of us! I remember finding some magazine with all the "hot guys, then and now" which had Mark Wahlberg in the undies...oh lord, talk about good vibrations!

    Surprising accuracy. Disturbing too, but in a funny way if that makes any sense.

    About 80% true. The Underwear ads and workout magazines were 100% me, though... :slight_smile:
    Haven't met anyone/is friends with someone who is LGBT though. (At least, I THINK I haven't...)

    That was sweet.

    My favorites were, "you were more interested in grocery store checkout stand workout magazines..." and "you were horrified anytime your dad searched for something that started with a g." :lol:

    I still have to reach that ending though. :thumbsup:

    More or less on point. I'd say about 54%. Unfortunately, still waiting to find other guys like myself and I'm still waiting for the realization that everything is ok because everyone else has realized that I'm still me and they still love me. :dry:

    Agree with a good portion of it, but I'm not too sure about feeling different as a child. I never had similar interests as girls, mostly into typical boy stuff.

    I most definetly had girly interests as a child, to the point that it suprises me that most people I tell are suprised. I sang and hummed constantly, wanted a bratz doll, and desired to be a ballerina. :slight_smile:
