    Up until this past weekend I was in hidding and truely not quite sure if I was gay. However this past weekend change all that. I was at a orientation for a new job, that was held at a buddhist temple, yea cool hun, anyway we were required to write down some aspects that defined ourselves and they could be as personal or as silly as you wan them. Well I decided to start things off right and that I was going to tell everyone there.

    If you don't know me I am an adrinaline junky and when I got up infront of this group of about 20-30 people and knowing what I was going to tell them, I got a great rush and a weight lifted off me shoulders. I was very quickly excepted by the group and met a nice guy out of it too. To date my coworkers are the only people that know (and you guys as well), but seeing their reaction and that its not something to be scared of, plus the adrinaline high of not knowing, i have decided to oust myself and tell the world about ME.

    I will let you guys know how the rest of it goes.

    :smilewave hey look at me I'm gay

    Wow, that was very nice, you were so brave, and i admire you, for me, it's really hard to come out in fornt of a big group of people like that, and i wish i can do that in my school, i think kids in school are closed minded and mean, but in the work place, adults soemhow are more open minded right?

    Im glad thinsg went well for you, that was a really good start, keep it up, and let teh whole word know about you

    ummm isnt this the same thread too?http://emptyclosets.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3754
