Hello, the name's John. Like in the title, I just figured it out today and told three of my close friends that I'm NOT straight, or even bi. I am gay. However, I was in complete denial this whole time and now will try to accept and be more confident with myself as I am. I guess I just didn't like to be associated with the gay word (or its variants) but I feel relieved from this great burden. No more hiding, no more pretending. This is me, in the beginning process of self acceptance. Whoo! Aside that, I'm so looking forward to meeting new friends here. Looks like a gnarly site!
