Once again welcome to all that have come to view this page. I started this blog because of my struggle with my true identity of being a homosexual for many years. It is not easy being gay in Kentucky as many people have not come to accept homosexuality. I can understand this as I have struggled myself. So let me tell you a little about myself.
I have struggled with my feelings ever since I was a kid. I know that some people think that this is impossible as a kid should not be able to feel such feelings yet. But trust me I did. I was never exposed to anybody who was gay. And I wasn't sexually abused as a child. I came about these feelings on my own. In fact until recently I still believed that such feelings were wrong. I have fought these feelings off for many years because of this. Only in the past year have I been able to accept it fully. I am now 20 years old. So you can imagine the struggle I have been through for the past 10+ years. I have not publicly come out as of yet though. I am not comfortable talking about this to anyone using my real identity except for people experiencing the same thing. I think it would have a negative impact on not only my professional life but my personal life as well. My family is old fashioned and set in their ways. But I am slowly opening their eyes to this without letting them know that I myself am homosexual.
The purpose of this blog really is to not only create a support group for people all over Kentucky where we can come together and talk about our experiences without being afraid of public backlash. But to also educate the public on this issue. Knowledge is power.
I do have a few requirements about this blog. If you do comment please use some common sense when doing so. I will not tolerate abusive remarks being posted. If you threaten anybody on here you will be reported to the proper authorities. Also keep in mind that you can voice your opinion as this is the United States of America and I will uphold everybody's right to free speech. Just because a comment is something I may not wish to read I will not delete it as long as it is not in a threatening manner. For example if you say that "homosexuality is wrong and immoral" I will not delete this as that is an opinion of the poster and it is their right to post that if that is what they feel. But if a poster post "all queers should be hanged". That is of a threatening manner and I will delete it. If I feel that it is a direct threat and not an opinion I will also report it. Which also beings me to my next rule. Under no circumstance is any poster allowed to use racist or derogatory remarks IE: nigger, faggot, well you know what they are. That will also be deleted.
I do hope that you enjoy this blog as it is to help people just like me. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns that you want addressed. I also have a secondary forum that I am working on. And I will personally send invites to those of you interested. However it will be of a private nature and not of an opinionated blog. It will be a safe heaven of sorts to talk where all the members will be understanding. And we can help each other. Depression and suicide are two big concerns of mine about people going thorough a situation like mine. I am a very strong willed person but there are others where the burden becomes to great. If you feel you need to talk please contact me and I will try and help talk you through what you are going through.
Well that is all for now but I hope to post everyday or at least every other day. As we become more acquainted I may ask some of the more trusted individuals to help out with this as with all the projects I have going on right now it can get very busy for me. But this is an issue I hold personal to me and I will make time to talk to anybody who wishes to do so.
Thank you all,
Looking in London
