Day 138: Coming Out

I'm going to try to make this as close to my Facebook post as possible but it might be slightly different. Same message though. I am in a relationship with Josh Mahannah. In case that statement or interested in men on Facebook isn't obvious, I'm gay. I've known since second grade that I was different. It's a hard thing to come to terms with but josh has made me so happy that I just want to tell the world. Some people might disown me but I have to remind them that I was gay when I played for the family funeral, I was gay when I moved you to tears, I was gay when I was the church pianist. I love Jesus and He loves me. That's all that matters. I don't need to discuss the politics of gay marriage because I respect other opinions. This weekend is important because of national coming out day. I couldn't wait for Saturday so I'm doing this today. I didn't choose to be gay. Theater and this school didn't make me gay. It's just me. I'm gay and that's all there is too it. I won't shove it in your face but I realize the truth to the famous Jerry Herman lyric. Life's not worth a damn till you can say, hey world, I Am What I Am.
