A Gay in the Life of a Teenager

This post comes from a young man who seems to have gained an interesting perspective from his experiences, one that I'm sure many of us share or should consider. Read on, and feel free to leave comments if you have any response!

Well, I'm just one gay teenager out of trillions around the world. Well, my story is, well, a bit sad but also happy because now my sister accepts me, but not my parents, but my friends support me in my life. I have a boyfriend and he always gives me emotional support also. My secret came out when I was 9 yrs old. My mom had found a gay magazine under my bed, but since that day my life has changed in good and bad ways. I’m just proud to be gay, and I want everyone to know it because I'm not afraid of what anyone thinks of me.

Well, this is just some of my life. Now I'm living life to the maximum and enjoying it. Don't be afraid to show your true self, and don't care what other people say because they will try to make you feel down, but ignore it just like I do. I just say whatever, I will always be gay, and nobody can change me, ok, because they are no better than anyone else, and remember god loves us, that's why he created us, to make the world think different about love.
