I am writing to tell you something I have wanted to tell you for a while
now. I am gay. You probably already know this, though. From the lack of
girlfriends and not dating and all, it has probably been obvious to you
longer than it has been to me.
I hope you donıt take this whole gay thing negatively on how you raised me
or anything. You did a great job raising me. Your have given me a solid
self-respect along with respect for other people. Just think how few young
people today have been raised with out this respect. This self-pride has
really helped me deal with being gay.
I have actually known I was gay since I was pretty young. Probably in
junior high. I just didnıt know what to call it. Also, for a while, I
rebelled against it by going to church a lot. I thought it would ³cure² me
or something. Now I know there is no ³cure² because there is nothing wrong
with being gay. There are gay cats, dogs, cows, and birds. It is a natural
thing. The church kind of screwed me up for a while but I learned from
that experience.
Telling myself out loud that I am gay took a while but it released so much
pressure inside of me that I wish I had been able to do it a long time
ago. My friends at school have helped me out by being supportive, too.
I tried to tell you when I was home but the opportunity never really
presented itself. I want you to call me when you have had time to think
about this. It took me a long time to accept being gay and I realize it
may take some time for you too. I want to talk to you about this but will
wait for you to call me.
so what do i win?
