I just thought I'd share this experience. It was during a sketchy time in my life where I was using alot of drugs and doing some abnormal things. I spent a night in a park, alone. I had this painting with me, a collaboration done by me and a couple very talented artists. It was stored in a cardboard tube, and I went and placed it under a tree in the park. I have no idea why, as a few days later I returned to collect it Early in the morning, I left the park and caught the train. This guy came up to me and asked me if I was ok. We chatted for a while and he bought me some breakfast in the city. He asked me if I was gay, I think I evaded the question as I usually do, but doing so gave me away. 'How did you know'? I asked. 'oh I can just tell' he said. He took my hand...it was a very public place and I was petrified. It was a brief relationship. He was concerned about me, and wanted me to stop doing drugs. We snuck down a concealed pathway and we had a brief kiss. Tongues met for second and it was eletric. He called my mother at the train station to come pick me up. My mother and my auntie arrived in the car and I got in the back. I remember him telling them 'your son is gay' OUTED... I didn't want to exist at that point. So embarrassed. Sadly it didn't work out. We just weren't quite right for eachother...though it was still an interesting experience. He was very 'controlling' = /
wow. i would really want to get to know you just by this post. thats a bit messed with that guy but bold can be good sometimes. what happened with your mom and aunt? keep us posted gorgeous painting too
thanks for responses guys =) It was a very quiet, awkward drive home. I don't think my mother is too worried..probably not big on the idea but still tolerant. We get along well
Your story is very well told. And it's not such an easy thing to write a true story. All around nice job. QP
Thanks for sharing... My therapist told my parents I was gay over the phone... After I told her not to...
Depending How Old You Were At The Time, This Sounds Like A Blatant Breach Of Patient Confidentiality.... Cheers Glen.
It remains one of the great mysteries of life as to why would so many people go to such great lengths to both discover and subsequently judge other people's sexuality. Like it or not, the matter is hardly of any importance. A gay dude may be as gay as Christmas and still not interested in me and v.v.. Another dude may be the very Mr. Straight Arrow and find himself on his knees sucking dick, coz his GF was out of town, coz he likes sucking cock, coz he had couple of drinks or was simply bored... Situational (homo)sexuality is gaining upper hand in an age of swift, anonymous communication, mass travel, and growing isolation of single individuals. Outing anyone as anything is really irrelevant these days. People will attach importance to it only if the 'outed' person agrees to attach any importance to it, too. A daring friend of mine once asked me if I was gay. "Dude, I am not really interested in you, so why would you really want to know?" This stopped him dead in his tracks for good. KD
I think outing someone is totally wrong. Ppl have killed themselves because of it. For a therapist to do it would be reason for the professional license to be pulled. It's a shame that everyone can't stay focused on themselves and no interfere in others' lives.
