I met my now lifelong mate, wife and love in 2006.  We were introduced by a mutual friend, lived two hours apart, and first met at a church service where we were both urged to join our friend and her family. We each arrived, sitting across the table, at opposite ends, we had little conversation and a few curious glances in the other’s direction.  After the family dinner in the church hall, we all drove back to their home,...

My name is Thomas and I can finally come out with pride and admit it without any shame: I am gay. I hope that my confession will help others going through the same struggle that almost killed me and that they can find their happiness, just like I did. I was born and raised by a Christian family and I have embraced these religious values ever since I was a kid. I have followed these values without any question until...

I am Peter, I am 18 years of age and I would like to tell you what it is like to be raised by a gay couple for your entire life. I have noticed that this is a hot topic and there are a lot of debates on whether gay couples are fit to adopt a child or not. I am here to tell you how that worked out for me so far and you can draw your own...

I started liking girls since second grade, but I had no idea what was happening to me. I remember refusing flowers from boys and at the same time trying to get closer to them to see what happens. I never got too close because I couldn’t. I guess it’s just normal not to go further with getting closer to someone you are not attracted to. Trees cannot blossom in winter, right? It’s just normal. At some point, in sixth grade I've made...

Our second part of the touching story is here! Do you remember yesterday's story I’ve made love to my brother…without knowing? Do you want to know what happened to Marius when he came to David's house? So you have now an opportunity to read the continuation of this story! He finally showed up, paid me and gave me a big tip, but that’s not what got my attention. His final words, though surely did: “- I hope it won’t bother you if I...

Hello, everyone! I am Marius, from Romania and this is my confession. It has been hard for me to talk to anyone about my problems, because at first I didn’t know exactly what those problems were (I just knew something was off) and then I found them to be too embarrassing to state them out openly. Even if some of them were obvious, like the fact that I consider myself ugly and unappealing. Most likely this is the reason...

Hi, I am Samantha! I am 16 years old, I am from USA and my former name was Samuel. I want to share my story to the world, because I want to help people who are experiencing the same situation I am in. I have been struggling my entire life with a problem that no one that I knew of have had. Ever since I was a little boy I liked playing with dolls and dressing up in my...

I met my husband-to-be seven years ago when we were both working as sous-chefs in an Italian restaurant in New York City. He says it was love at first sight, but I resisted for a while because I had just ended a relationship with an Italian guy and had decided they were all cocky… and not in a good way! At work, nobody really knew I was gay, nor did they suspect Luca was either. We just did our jobs...

Hi, I am Ana and I am from Russia! I am writing this, because I wanted to share my story to someone and get free of the burden that I have been carrying for the past 10 years. I gave it a lot of thought whether to do it or not, but then I think my story can help people overcome their own difficult moments in life. I am also doing it because my life changed for the better...
