{{{{Ricky}}}}}}}} hugs if it's okay

Welcome to the forum. I am Spanish and Irish and I know some people have problems with different cultures and different ways of life. "White" people are no different than any of the rest of us, in anyway.

I also admire your courage in coming out. Some of us are still not completely secure enough to do that. Your preferences don't make you less of anything. We are all equal and our lifestyles have no bearing on that.

I hope you decide to go see a therapist about the OCD so that you can start realizing what an awesome person you are. And maybe we can work on that as well.
