Coming out was really hard. I was 18 years old when i told my parents. I am 19 now. my b-day was ocober23. I've always dressed like a tomboy. I never really wore girl clothes. When i go shopping i go in the boy section. When i would come home from school she would see the hickeys on my neck. She would ask me and I wouldn't say nothing. One day she saw them again, I was like its not a boy that gave me the hickeys. She was shocked. She told me she loved me for who I am. My dad found out on April fools night when me and my girlfriend Cyndi were down the street and a family friends party. Me and my girl went to use the bathroom, and came back and my dad said the Cyndi to walk to my house and get her clothes and walk home. My dad was telling me he didn't raise me like this, and started to cus at me, and was like u cant make her walk, I am going with her. He was like no your not, and I was balling! Then my dad put me in the truck and making me go with him. Then we stopped at a store and my uncle was following us and he told me to go with him. I did and he took me back to my house and Cyndi was there with my mom, and sister. I was crying and crying, my dad disowned me for a while, then he got over it and now he accepts me. I am still with Cyndi we have been together for 8 months. We got together on February 26,2002!!!! I am proud to be who I am, and what I am. My friends and family ALL know. It's a hard life but this is really what I want, and I am happy that's all that matters.
