I would like to thank all of you for the note of welcome and encouragement. It is most appreciated and I am most greatful for having found this site. Yes it is true, twenty-three years in the closet has been a long time. I know that I stuggle with the issue of same sex attraction, but the difficulty is accepting it and learning to live with it. For there is a great deal of embarassment, doubt and shame. Most of this comes from not being sure of what the members of my family would think if I were to tell them. I guess that the most important thing is I need to find a way to "come out" to myself or in other terms accept myself for who I am before I can discuss this issue with someone that I trust. Well, I'll stop here for now because I don't want to bore any of you with my story. Again, thank you for being so open and accepting - I believe that this is a place where I will be able to share as well as help others. Respectfully, careandrespect

You are very welcome! You're right in assuming that you need to believe it yourself before you can come out, but be careful of how long you wait for this to happen. You will not have a concrete "I am gay" moment, when a lot of people come out there's still a bit of doubt left, but the beautiful part is that coming out is kind of a solidifying thing for us. Your certainty will shoot through the roof after you tell someone ^^
