It finally came to the point where I am really considering going out of the closet.
It's a mixture of fear and relief once I "take the plunge." But damn, I don't think I have the balls for it.
The dilemma here is this: I want to get married (and I don't care if it's all about how society's just pressuring me to marry...) to a GIRL. No harm in that. I'm a boy, pretty ok looking. Relatively ok body. I'm basically ok. I can get a girl if I want to. I just never did. Too scared perhaps? That when I do find that someone, she'll see me for who I am - GAY.
GAY. I'm still not used to that word. I don't want to be called one. But I am.
It started way back when I was young. I already knew.
I remember, singing to songs by the Spice Girls, or dancing to Madonna... Being teased... So often for being too soft, too girlie. It annoyed the hell out of me. I don't want to be gay. I want to make my momma PROUD. So somewhere along the way, I matured man enough. But not enough for people to stop doubting my sexuality. I like the way I am, the way I act... It's not gay enough, but it gives reason for doubt. It's like I can lure men, at the same time give them a bit of distance...
Getting married. It's so, fairy-tale like. White everywhere. Flowers galore. (I'm not into those things for your information.) But I do want one family: 5 children, hopefully 1 of them is straight to carry on my name. And a wife. A lovely wife: pretty, normal, everything I can ask for. And then somewhere on the sides, a man. Who'd pretend to be my best friend.
So tell me this: Given the fact that I want to get married... How else can I come out? My throats itching to say the words: I'm Bi (I prefer Bi over Gay, ANYTIME) - to my mom, my brother, and my best friends... But come wedding day... They'd be staring at me, and pitying the girl I'd marry. How much love can I give? They might ask. How much?
Why am I even considering? It's simple, really. I've got a clique where every single person is a single straight man.
1. I never had a girlfriend
2. I don't talk about how I masturbate, and the women I masturbate about
3. I don't have a girl I like
4. I "don't do porn" (just to avoid saying I check out a gay website regularly... HAHA)
So they eventually pressured me into coming out. Circling me and telling me - COME OUT. I KNOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. JUST SAY IT NOW. WE'RE SENIORS, IT DOESN'T MATTER TO US, WE'LL STILL LOVE YOU AS A FRIEND.
BUT.
It's no easy task.
I JUST CAN'T YELL IT OUT.
Call me a coward.
Just call me that.
But if you can prove that YOU can get married without this burden on your back. Then MAYBE, I can reconsider my stand.
I don't feel gay about being gay. A cure? or an answer? What do I really need?
Comment please :)
