Wanted to say, I’m really sorry to my closest friends and family who I barely keep in contact with at home. I really wanted to tell you all a long time ago and everyone else, that I’m gay. But I feel like I should explain myself why. When I came out to my parents, I was told that they’d rather me be in prison than gay and that 99% of all gay people are bad. Apparently quoting from today most gay people my mum have met are ‘self-obsessed, fanatical about their looks, unfaithful, chips on their shoulders and damaged in some way’. I was then asked (when I came out) with many arguments that they didn’t want the rest of my family or friends to know, and that if I told them, apparently it was ‘disrespectful’ because clearly they were embarrassed and didn’t want to be talked about behind their backs that there is now two gay sons in the family. Today while going through my options of accommodation next year, it is a possibility I could be living with a really good friend with mine who is also gay. However after phoning my parents to tell them of what was going on to make a decision, I got told I should stay and mix with ‘normal’ people, and it was weird to live with a friend that was gay. And as much as I love my parents, and they help me as much as possible with everything with best intentions in mind, I’m not putting up with that and I have had enough of this crap, I have been hurt a lot by this old fashioned nonsense, I was rude to them, and if I disrespected you by coming out well I am sorry for being the person who I am, and that I can’t change.
