Hello everyone! I'm just a college aged guy from the Midwest. I found this site a few weeks ago when I realized I liked guys. I seriously don't know how it took me so long to figure it out! Well I lied, I do and I'll share it with all of you! I'm from one of the most conservative parts of the country where being gay is seen as a choice that people make for attention. All of my friends thought that way so naturally I thought that way too. I also dated girls a little in high school and it never worked out. I just never felt attracted to them. I justified that by saying I just have too high of standards XD. I also had way too many stereotypes of LGBT people that I had heard from friends and stuff like that and I didn't really fit those. I knew I checked other guys out, but I always told myself I was just comparing myself to them because in my mind at that time there is no such thing as people naturally attracted to the same sex. Then I went to college in a pretty liberal area and met a lot of gay people and learned that it's not a choice. It still hadn't hit me at that point that I was attracted to guys. Then I was on whisper, if any of you know what that is, and I read some whispers about people being gay and stuff and the background pictures were of guys kissing and I found that pretty hot. There were also whispers about finding guys more attractive than girls then it just hit me like "Oh I'm sexually attracted to guys too!" And then everything made sense like only liking porn videos if the guy in it was hot and my "comparing myself to other guys." I came to terms with it pretty fast. I'm not out at all, but that'll change soon. I'm happy! I'm not confused or depressed about who I am. I am a Christian and know Jesus loves me still. And above all I am NOT confused! Geese that'll piss me off if people say that when I tell them. Nothing has been more clear! Anyways that's my basic story! Hello again!
