    A few people
    So last night I met up with my boyfriend and some of his friends for drinks and dinner. Afterwards, my boyfriend and I split up from his friends and just hung out, the two of us. We went to another bar and hung out. Both our arms/hands were above the table. As we were talking, he reached over and grabbed my hands... and I wasn't phased one bit...well, let me rephrase that... I literally became an emotional pile of goo after melting because of how awesome and amazing and unexpected it was... but I did it in public and wasn't even concerned. The reason it's such a big deal to me is because not only am I not super big into PDA, I'm also not out.

    Here I was... in public, being rather affectionate with my guy (nothing obscene or over the top) and it was the most natural thing ever. Yeah, people stared and made comments... but I didn't care, at all.

    And here's the milestone: I realized how far I've come with regards to accepting my homosexuality and God has it been a struggle. A while back when I joined this forum, I was thinking of every way to hide my sexuality. Being gay had brought me nothing but hurt and I just wanted to drop it like a dirty sock. It's amazing how much reading all of your stories, opinions, getting your help/support, has really helped me accept who I am and be totally ok (beyond happy) with it. This site has been a huge help to me and I just wanted to thank all of you and give everyone a huge, virtual hug. Keep doing what you're doing people of EC... I think I'm starting to realize what true happiness and self-acceptance are and I can't thank all of you enough!
