Gay Coming Out Stories / videos / experiences - Family acceptance and the future (compiled)


tic-toc

Recommended Posts

Your own sexuality has really nothing to do with what the rest of this god damn world really thinks of you.

Do you know why the video or smiliar ones are created? This really stems from your own fear from unable to accept for who you really are, and thus throught this media, you seek for acceptance.

You really make no sense - he isn't seeking acceptance. He's just sharing his coming out story; he's not coming out.

You don't did things like that for nothing. It is made public, so what do you expect ?

" He's just sharing his coming out story, he 's not coming out"

What you said , doesn't mean any sense.

Rhetorical . Thats whats its worth.

In Hokkien, what you did is termed LPPL.

You know what is that?

Lam Pa Pa Lam.

Now go find out the meaning

If you read the description, you'd see that he has come out to his friends & family - he is sharing the coming out EXPERIENCE.

No one in blowing wing forum fellow member would upload such a video like that and announce to public like that, is the most stupid things I even seen.

You don't own us any explanation.

Out with his friends and family, but posted in world wide in Youtube, thus it is not exclusively known only to them.

Why not save the trouble, by telling them , not us.

It is none of our business, nor that doesn't make him an icon symbolizing bravery

You focus on the description, without realizing the rest of the act

Hi guys, i'm Blue and i'm 18.

I've got to admit that i've lurking around this forum for quite some time now ( yes, i do know), and its often mentioned that it is impossible to change your sexuality. Personally I feel I'm still confused and I wonder when will I get out of this phase. While girls don't turn me off, I am sexually inclined to guys instead. I'm pretty sure I know what I want in life, which is to eventually get married but it is not just because it is the social norm, it is just that I tend to feel emotionally attracted to girls more.

It just seem so hard to try to switch. Straight pxxn works just fine but I just have this tendency to switch on they gay one instead. Would it be quite selfish to love your wife while you have feelings for other men? ( sexually not emotionally of course) I think it could be possible for me to abstain and avoid gay pxxn ( I'm not sure would it be for life) but should I try?

I've no experience in relationships at all. Probably will never date a guy though

I seem to kind of know what i want, its just that I'm addicted to gay pxxn, haha. sigh. Hopefully you guys will not think I'm coming across as pathetic as i think i seem to be.

Hi blue

I guess it should be fine to be confused about your sexuality at your age especially when the environment does not perceive homosexuality/bisexuality as a 'normal' behaviour. Maybe you should view ricky martin's interview with Oprah to get some insights as he also went through a period of loving women before coming to terms to his sexuality. The link is as follows:

I am sorry that I cannot help you much as I am a 'pure' gay man who does not have strong emotional (i.e. as lovers) attachment to women. However, I have both good male and female friends, although the sexual/emotional attachment is different.

Hope you will make through this self-discovery with as little pain as possible.

Yes Blue you got noting to lose so why not try as u are only 18yrs.

Guest alternative

you are normal, treat it like some lost brotherhood bonding, some 'misgrowth' during your developing years. Another alternative is instead of using sex to pursue your unmet needs. You could use healthy ways of coping your needs, like forming healthy friendship which could be more satisfying than sex.

TS, as u only 18 why not give yourself more time....go army, come out and work etc before concluding what you want in life.

When I was 18, I was researching abt the truth of life and very focus on religion and stuff.

I was trying to find a reason for my own existence.

So don't overly think and don't need to force yourself into any situation, keep an open mind and love yourself - in the end you will find a path which suits you and lastly NO REGRETS k?

Good luck dude

Hey guys. Thanks for all the advise guys, maybe I've just got to keep an open mind and see how things goes. I wanted to post about my views on life, but I felt i should just keep it to myself. perhaps there is really a long way for me to go in life and I should make no conclusions yet.

this is pretty old news....

tho this extract from http://abcnews.go.co...=4263016&page=1 is pretty interesting.

For instance, he does not support the movement to have homosexuality legalized in Singapore, despite his own sexual orientation.

"I think allowing it will stir up a lot of s*** -- people here need time to adjust. Legalization will happen eventually, but at the moment, we have other issues to worry about in this country," he says.

he thinks too much. as you get older, just out yourself eventually and then move on with life. you live for yourself, not for others.

==============

Kumar publicly admits he is gay

He denied it in 1993, and again in 2005.

When asked directly, he answered with a flat "no", and even asserted in one interview, "I'm not a homo. I'm not gay."

At the launch of his coffee-table book Kumar: From Rags To Drags on Tuesday, however, the veteran stand-up comic seems to have decided to come out at last.

Explaining why he waited until now to do so, the 43-year-old said, "When you're 40-something, people take you seriously. And when you tell people you're 40, anything you say, they will believe."

In his early days, he told The New Paper, he denied queries about his sexual orientation because he did not know how to handle them.

And even though his homosexuality is pretty apparent to most people, Kumar said emerging from the closet wasn't a walk in the park.

"If I want people to understand me, I think I have to be able to open myself," he said. "How to help people when I myself am in denial?"

The coffee-table book, he said, promises to reveal a side of him that the public has never seen. One chapter, entitled "Fairy Queen", is the most telling of his newfound openness.

In it, he also shares stories about his difficult childhood, relating that he was molested by an older man at the age of 10 — the experience that made him realise his preference for men.

Kumar also opens up about his current relationship with an unidentified 23-year-old man.

He says that his partner goes out with girls, even though he isn't okay with it, although he accepts it, saying, "If he is cheating on me, he'd go out with another guy."

He ends the chapter that details his relationship with his partner by saying, "There may not be a happily ever after, but we are in this relationship happily."

In other parts of the book, Kumar spoke of public perceptions and expectations of him as a performer.

"When people see me on TV, they think that I'm their friend and expect me to say more," he said.

"If you want a picture, I'll do it. But after the picture, if you want a conversation, I can't. I don't know you," he added, expressing his need to be able to separate his real friends from acquaintances.

He also dispels rumours of being promiscuous, saying that people assume he sleeps with the many male friends he has around him.

With regard to people saying that he only dates Caucasian men, he says, "Caucasian men don't even turn me on."

High-profile endorsements

Supportive guests at Kumar's book launch include Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Vivian Balakrishnan, who said that Kumar looked like a "child bride", and is still going strong after more than 20 years in the entertainment industry.

"The way he dresses, the way he talks, the style of his jokes. These are the things that will always stay in my mind," the minister said on Tuesday.

Former foreign minister George Yeo is also quoted in Kumar's coffee-table book, speaking of a time he was interviewed by Kumar about a project where four sections of the Berlin Wall were displayed at Bedok Reservoir.

"It turned out to be one of the best interviews I've ever had. Kumar is a treasure," he said.

Fly Entertainment founder and CEO Irene Ang thanked Kumar "for being an icon of Singapore (so others will never say Singapore is boring)", signing off as his "fan, friend, brother/sister".

She said at the launch, "Kumar has established himself as who he is. It doesn't matter what he is… there is only one Kumar and he can get away with things that other people can't… he can be whoever he wants to be."

Celebrity host and comedienne Patricia Mok also said of him, "Kumar is daring in his stage work but most important (sic), he is a beautiful person."

I changed the topic title from Kumar The Drag to Kumar Admits He Is Gay, the earlier title sounded a tad bit disrespectful. Kumar is a talented artist, that goes without saying. He is also a brave person. I respect anyone who dares to admits he is gay publicly.

Yeah, agreed. There's a big difference between everyone knowing you're gay and you saying so for the record in public.

For one, there's no turning back and no way for, say, your family to deny it any further.

And for the other, remember we all still live under 377A. It's tantamount to admitting at least the inclination towards committing a criminal offense.

another gay mr iggie manuel told his mum that he is gay.mum reply u still my baby, and i still love u. i was just waiting for u to tell me.

=====================

I'm gay and mum says it's ok

The New Paper - September 17, 2011 - 11:10pm By: Benita Aw Yeong

HE GINGERLY let slip the truth to his mother when he phoned her in Holland to tell her that he had tested negative in a routine HIV checkup.

Mr Iggie Manuel, 44, told his Eurasian Singaporean mum, Mrs Jeanette Van Putten: "Mum, I'm gay."

Even though she had expected him to get married, Mrs Van Putten's subsequent reply moved Mr Manuel, so much so that he still feels it today.

"You're still my baby, and I still love you - I was just waiting for you to tell me."

Read the full story in The New Paper on Sunday (Sept 18).

i did not come out, but my parents told me they know i am gay. but hey, they dun expect me to bring my partner home for dinner or social events. my parents still loves me but i also must respect them by not flounting my 'gayness' around.

Just wondering, if I'm the adopted son of 2 gay men, would I be accused of flouting my "straightness" around if I bring my gf home?

maybe you, it is about time

I am already out to many. Those whom had seen me in person during events will already know who I am. The thing about coming out is you don't have to come out to everyone. Those who knows would know, those who don't need to know, don't have to know.

I would shake his hands and tell him how brave I think he is, that's all. Because I am not as brave as him.

Make sure you 'shake'his hand, not any other 'organ' hor.

I guess he's not your type.

But it would to be great to hear both of you moan together in the cubicle, like a straight pxxno movie:)
