    Hey ya`ll, I am in need of some advice. I am gay (Wow, that is the first time I have -ever- typed that). I`ll try to explain my background before I ask for advice. I live in the South(U.S), and I am still in the closet. I apologize in advanced if this post seems incoherent, I've never told anyone that I am gay...thus I have never had any means of venting my problems. Anyways :slight_smile: Like I mentioned, I am still in the closet. I am sure some people believe I am gay, and I've been called gay by ignorant hicks before (though I convinced them that I wasn't). I have never had a girlfriend, and I am so tired of not having someone special. I've considered getting a girlfriend just to "cover up" until I am ready to come out of the closet. Is this wrong to fool with the emotions of a girl, just for the sake of a lie?

    Up until recently, I had believed that I would remain in the closet the rest of my life, even at the expense of my happiness. However, that isn't fair to me... and I know one day that I will come out. My family are all Christians (for the most part), and that makes this much more difficult. Living in the South, one could imagine the type of discrimination a homosexual/bisexual (or anyone different in general) would face.

    Anyways, I`m sorry to those of you who read this... it's late and I am confused :frowning2:

    I know how you feel living in the south. I live in the fucking bible belt. I know how annoying it gets at times. I say you shouldnt do that to a girl. But instead find someone (preferably a girl) and comeout to them. Do you have a best friend?
