    What It's Like Growing Up A Gay Dude

    Look, life isn't easy for anyone but there's something to be said about growing up as a gay.

    Since you can remember, you've always been a little…different.

    And you'd ask your parents for toys for the opposite sex.

    At times you knew that they knew something you didn’t even know anything about yet.

    Especially with subjective programming during family time.

    At school, everyone seemed to make fun of you. For everything. All the time.

    Weird stuff at home. Weird stuff at school. Makes one feel like yucky pooh.

    There's only so much you can handle until you start trying really hard to fit the mold of what a guy should be.

    You get that first girlfriend and try to figure out what all the fuss is about.

    People start talking though. Why hasn't he kissed her? WHY.

    And then one day. It hits. You like guys.

    You're... Gay?!

    Now there's a weird time when you have to run away from yourself. And others.

    This alone time reveals a whole new world that has been hiding from you.

    Coming out will happen. In all shapes and sizes. Each with it's own unique experience.

    Wait. What?! HE'S GAY TOO?

    As you explore your new found gayness, you'll be more comfortable, let your true self show and people flock to you.

    And you'll have to come out more.

    And more...

    And More. Pretty much every time you meet somebody.

    You'll always be figuring things out, but once you've gone through the trials and tribulations, you come out understanding the true meaning of truth, beauty, freedom and love.
