She knew I was seeing someone and the first thing she asked me was "so who is she?"  and I replied "what if its not no a girl?" and she screamed in excitement. She was SOO happy for me.  It was honestly such a huge relief to finally let it out and say "I am Gay".  It was so hard for me to say, but i am so happy i did it.  IT feels good to finally let someone into my world.  We then got drinks and i caught her up with the rest of my life.  She did feel upset because she felt like I couldnt trust her before , but i had to explain that it wasnt about trusting her, it was more about figuring out me and if it was what i wanted.  Other then that, she was so excited and happy for me.  Though im not the the "fabulous" gay BFF she always wanted, i know she'll always be there for me.  &lt;br /&gt;&#13;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It’s the Law&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A short film by a group of award-winning independent filmmakers in Indianapolis, Indiana about marriage inequality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;From the director’s statement:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Civil Rights Movement and the Gay Rights Movement clearly have their differences, but I believe there are also undeniable similarities between the two struggles. In “It’s the Law”, we portray a fictional America in which being gay prompts legal, public discrimination. This is similar to the discrimination our America has thankfully overcome, and constitutionally amended, during the Civil Rights Movement. However, marriage inequality fits perfectly within the fictional, prejudiced America we present. And of course marriage inequality isn’t fictional at all – is it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My goal for this film is to continue the conversation about legalizing gay marriage, and to galvanize others to political action. Tell your congressperson that the law is presently biased against taxpaying, voting, and loving people who are gay. Tell them you want your state to stand on the right side of history. Tell them we can change this together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I Am Gay&lt;/strong&gt;, this little phrase has truly been the hardest thing for me to understand.  After meeting someone, I finally started to see my life a different way. Growing up I always saw myself with a family, kids, and a wife.  I never thought I would be happy with a man.  I was always so confused, and &lt;strong&gt;didn&amp;#8217;t know who I was.  &lt;/strong&gt;For years, I closed off the rest of the world because I didnt want them to get to know me, when I didnt even know me.  I was never able to be who I was, even with my closest friends and family.  As I look back, its truly is depressing.  Last year, I spent alot of time with a guy I met and he truly changed my life.  I finally am&lt;strong&gt; happy&lt;/strong&gt;, he makes me happy.  Last year when I wasn&amp;#8217;t with him, my time was spent on&lt;strong&gt; doing me&lt;/strong&gt; and understanding where I want my life to go. The hardest part of it was being there&lt;strong&gt; alone&lt;/strong&gt;, no one to turn to for my problems and no one to turn to for relationship problems.  But last year, was life changing and in the end I can say &amp;#8220;I AM GAY&amp;#8221; i finally &lt;strong&gt;accept who I am&lt;/strong&gt;. 2012 will be an amazing year for me, I truly want the rest of the world to know WHO I AM.  I am so tired of being held back, it saddens me that I have gotten to this point.  No One in my life, knows&lt;strong&gt; I am happy&lt;/strong&gt;.  No one in my life, knows who I am.  No one in my life, sees me as I do.  I&amp;#8217;m slowly building up the courage to tell the world, this is only the &lt;strong&gt;start of my journey&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://acomingoutstory.tumblr.com/post/18291195550</link><guid>http://acomingoutstory.tumblr.com/post/18291195550</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Feb 2012 22:11:48 -0500</pubDate><category>coming out</category><category>gay</category><category>lgbt</category><category>it gets better</category></item></channel></rss>
