Hello, my name is Chris. After 20 plus years of trying to deny my sexual identity, I am finally ready to admit first and foremost to myself that I am gay. After years of trying to deny/change to way I feel, I am ready to become the person I know I am meant to be. Thank you for being a part of my new life
