The Other Side Of Me

This Blog is a documentation, a day-to-day account of my coming out process. This is here so people can read, and see where i've made mistakes and where i've made progress, so that during their coming out they can attempt to avoid or emulate those things. It is also here, to show the struggle me and many others have faced, when coming to terms with our sexuality.

It’s that time...

My family just started to arrive, I think half are here already. Sad to say, but the flag is down... but not out. I just folded it and placed it on my shelf. However, all my other stuff is still here. my mini flag is still up but it’s not as noticeable, my magazines (the advocate and out [not the nude mag]) are on my desk, and my books are among my other books. I feel a little defeated, but not totally defeated. I still have some stuff lying around, and if they happen to see it, who cares? I hope that my parents say or find out it before Christmas, so I can keep it up without worrying. Eh, I better go and put up with my family.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I know exactly how you feel- for years I had to "de-gay" my apartment when friends and family came to visit. I remember the first time I left the pride flag hanging over my bed when my parents came to visit. It felt great to finally be free. Hang in there!
