Coolum Beach, NSW, Australia (2004)
I know I'm a fair bit younger than most of the people here, but I figure that you're never too young to be proud. This is me and my friend Amber, hanging out after a theater production I was in. While I don't wear makeup in general, this photo shows who I am: A fun, proud, and slightly flamboyant person.
I kind of always knew I was gay, I just never knew the word for it.
Through grade school and even in high school, I had multiple girlfriends,
and I didn't think anything of it. I came out in 10th grade to most of my friends and family, and they weren't surprised at all.
All of my friends are fine with me being gay, and so is most of my family.
There is of course the expected bantering at school, but it's nothing really.
Looking back at this picture, as a wise beyond my years young man,
I can see I was happy then. Which even now, makes me happy.
My message to everyone who is gay, straight or another genre not mentioned:
Don't worry about who you are. At the end of the day, life's too short to care about whether or not people like you.
Thanks for your time. I really love your blog!
