I had an interestintg day at school yesterday.

This was the first time I just said I was gay to a whole classroom filled with people. In Poli Sci class, there was a discussion about gay marriages. Most of the time I just sat and listened to what they had to say. I'd guess that about 95% of the class were okay with the whole gay marriage thing. Basically, after all the straight people gave their two cents, I decided to voice my opinion coming from an actual gay point of view. Yes. I did declare that I was gay and that I am a devout Catholic. No one dared to follow my argument. No one could question my statistics. I argued the raising children issue and the "nature versus nurture" theory.

You can imagine that I was feeling very empowered and validated by voicing a real GAY opinion. I had no shame telling 130 strangers that I'm gay.

Nothing to hide. Nothing to complain about.
