Support Can Be Beautiful.

I sometimes think that i take for granted the fact that my family is open-minded. When i was 16 i came out and told my grandma (She raised me) that i was gay. All she said was as long as im happy and safe. No matter what, she will always love me. I never had to go thru my family tryin to turn me straight or havin them disown me because of who i am. So whenever i meet a guy and he tells me that his family doesnt know about him and never will, i just think its sad. How depressing is it to go thru life having to pretend around your family. The one group of people in the world who should always love and accept you no matter what. I guess thats why so many homosexuals are so prone to join "Gay families/Houses". It gives them a family that they can be open with and feel loved/accepted. Me myself, ive never been into that scene. I have a family, why go around callin someone else mama and daddy? I dont know what it feels like to tell your family that your gay, and have them not want anything to do with you. Ill never have to introduce my boyfriend to my family as my roommate or friend. I think the fact that i always felt accepted is the reason why im not ashamed to say im gay. Im not a flaming queen, but im not ashamed to tell people the truth if they ask. Heterosexuals dont go aroung proclaiming their straightness, so i dont think homosexuals have to wave a rainbow flag everywhere they go. Im like a book, my sexuallity is only one chapter to who i am. Its not all that i am.
