A Coming Out Story

Actually this was written somewhere between January 1 2009, and Feb. 8 2009

I am a 26 year old gay male, or at least that s how I identified myself when I came out of the closet for what I thought I was the last time. What do I identify myself as? I am a rape survivor, I am a porn star, I am a divorcee, I am a minister, I am a Mormon, I am a female in a man's body.  I am ME.  The road, the journey if I may, of coming out is a long one and no two stories are the same,  Some may be easy, some may be harder, others only had to come out once, while others like myself have been in and out of the closet many times just to find themselves when they did finally come out of the journey of self realization was only just the beginning.

My life has not been an easy one, nor can i say that I have many regrets.  Every life experience I have had has contributed to the person I am today and more than likely would not change a thing.  It would have just presented myself with different life experiences. I am thankful for the love and support of my parents and for my mom teaching me that my happiness is all that matters and that I just need to be myself.
