what to include in your story...

This is just an idea of what I am looking for in the stories. Please try to explain as best you can :

When you knew you were gay...

What made you realized you needed to come out......

How old were you when you came out......

How did you come out to your family and friends....

How has your life changed.....

And please try to describe the emotions you felt is as much detail as you can. People tend to think sometimes that they are the only ones who are feeling those feelings and need to hear that there are other people out there who share those feelings, and they are not strange or wrong feelings. It can help someone not feel so alone to hear about other people experiencing similar feelings. There are a lot of us out there.

I would prefer the stories be anywhere from a few paragraphs to a couple of pages. Since I need stories with as much detail as possible I am not sure all can be explain in only a paragraph. I don't want to rewrite your story, I want it to be your story not my story about you. Please write your story in your own voice so it sounds like you.
