Speak out!
To speak out, as defined by Websters is the act of expressing oneself's thoughts or opinions, this being orally or non-verbally and to talk freely and fearlessly about an issue. The issue at hand can vary and cover a wide array of trending topics, but what I am going to cover on today's article is -of course- about sexuality.
As a gay man, coming to terms with your sexuality and being comfortable and confident enough about it is only half the road to mental health, because whether we like it or not, we also need approval from family and friends and those we hold close, dear and relevant to our heart.
But having them accept who you truly are can be complex and bring up a number of issues. One of my second life family members and a guy I not only hold in high esteem but love dearly for who he is felt compelled recently to share his views on homosexuality, as he has recently come out to his parents and logically assumed that sharing information would not only help him but many other teens out there struggling with the same issue, since simply put... information is power.
A link to his page is already posted on my blog roll, but here is a direct link to his page (http://aggblogs.blogspot.com/) which you are free to copy and paste and distribute as you see fit. Being gay doesn't change the person you are, just who you sleep with, and sometimes people seem to overlook that fact.
In the words of Lady Gaga "Just put your paws up, because you were born this way baby"

Expresarte, es definido por el diccionario come el acto de hacer tu opinión pública, aireando tus pensamientos y opiniones, ya sea de forma no verbal o mediante el uso del lenguage, hablando sin miedo ni reservas sobre un asunto concreto. Este asunto puede variar y cubrir muchos topicos, pero lo que voy a cubrir hoy es -por supuesto- referido a las sexualidad.
Como hombre gay, sentirte comodo con tu sexualidad es solo medio camino por recorrer, porque nos guste o no, necesitamos la aprobación de familia y amigos así como de todos aquellos que tenemos cerca de nuestro corazón.
Pero hacer que acepten quien realmente eres puede ser complejo y traer a la superficie un número de problemas. Uno de los miembros de my familia en el second life y un chico que no solo guardo en alta estima sino cerca de mi corazón se sintió en la necesidad de compartir su perspectiva sobre la homosexualidad, ya que ha salido del armario recientemente y asumió de manera bastante lógica, de que la información es poder, y que compartiendo dicha información ayudaría a otras personas y adolescentes enfrentandose a una situación similar.
Un vínculo a su página ya está disponible en my "blog roll", pero he aquí un enlace directo a la misma (http://aggblogs.blogspot.com/) el cual eres libre de copiar, pegar y distribuir como consideres conveniente. Ser gay no cambia quien eres, sólo con quién te acuestas, y a veces las personas olvidad ese pequeño detalle.
Y citando a Lady Gaga "Alza tus garras, ya que naciste así cariño"
