Today (tomorrow in the UK) is the National Coming Out Day in some countries. Of course that excludes fabulous Singapore where the government does not believe that homosexuals should be allowed to have sex.
Having came out four years ago, I wished I had gave it more thought rather than rushing through it.
I do think about going back into the closet at times, but decided to stick to a variant of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Basically, if others assume that I'm straight and it is making me uncomfortable, then I'll say that I'm not interested. Otherwise, I won't say that I'm gay unless you ask me at point blank.
It's something I don't talk about in my life, but coming out has made me more at ease with myself, even though it's not going the way I hope it would have. Different people come out publicly in different ways. For me, I wanted do it in a big way, but decided not to at all. Society's conservative, family's conservative and even some of my friends who are fine with me being gay still have some negative prejudiced opinion about gay people in general.
Still actively looking for the one, but I am not expecting to meet someone any time soon.
I'd finish this post with a chart showing the path into my heart courtesy of OK Cupid. Maybe the one would encounter this post and I'll get to live happily ever after.
