Wow the support on this post has been amazing. I appreciate everyone's point of view.

I realized that I've been focusing and worrying more about what others think. In reality what they think shouldn't matter.

I had a situation happen the other day. I met a girl on an online dating site and we've been talking. She asked me if I was really gay. Ugh..that question. I explained that I don't like labels and talked a bit about my past. She was so accepting. It was amazing. There really are people out there who don't judge.
