Randomers Post....
An open message to him, and my own story...

I was about 12 when I realised that I was bi, looking at my dads porn, and naked guys in changing rooms were both going to get me going.

But no way were my parents going to know that.
By their reckoning men who liked men were going to spend hell impaled on Satan's trident.. now there's a euphemism.

So slowly, over the nearly 40 yrs since then I've let certain people know, but I've only actually admitted it openly since my parents died.

So for 30 yrs I faked being totally straight, even to the longest term relationship I had.

Good luck Randomer, hope your life is easier than mine was sometimes.

thats so wrong..sorry to hear it
It was a different era.. people thought differently to nowadays.

It really doesn't matter if you are gay, straight, bi, whatever.. as long as you're not into kids or animals..

Its also not the road you are on..or where you are heading to that matters.. just as long as you are happy with who you are.

thanks..
for the support. its far too easy to forget that other people have had it hard(er) as well

I do intend to stop faking relatively soon (gradually), as I don’t have any solid arguments to say I should continue, given that a handful of friends already know and are mostly supportive and curious about how and why I am the way I am.
