My Coming Out Story part1, Gay Punk and Metal Head

[pussy4795]

I'm gay and I love punk and metal as well. I don't think there are many gay guys who do like this music though.

[SadnessAndKandyfloss]

same here.

[ahhcrap101]

hey your just like me i'm bi and i love heavy music

[ASHBYHAYNES]

I'm in the same boat as you dude and yes...it sucks!!!

[Thurbane316]

Wow...I always thought the genes that activated homosexuality and a love for metal were on totally different chromosomes. Back to the lab, then.

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

@Thurbane316 Yes back to the lab. There are plenty of us out there.

[tahoemack]

I am subscribed to the Associated Press News channel. They uploaded a video last night that there is a med. that fights HIV and very possibly could prevent AIDS. FINALLY!

[tahoemack]

Great response to @deathmetalguy666. He should be so lucky. Intelligent, gay, and very nice looking. You have it made.

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

@tahoemack Thanks man. Thats a nice comment.

[deathmetalguy666]

YOU KNOW WHAT GO TO A DEATH METAL CONCERT WITH 100.000 METALHEADS AND PUNKS go in the middle of the pit AND SCREAM THAT SHIT OUT LOUD. you'll see what will happend you Cocksucker. just try it!!

[separatesix]

@deathmetalguy666 It's 2010 you bigoted dinosaur!

those "metalheads" probably would lynch him, but does that make it right?

he's a lot braver than any of you heterosexual males with all the discrimination and abuse gays have to put up with.

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

@deathmetalguy666 why would I bother? I'd probably have my mouth full anyway considering there would be that many guys around me.

[thegrindhousegrotto]

Gay metalheads/punks? You should check out the films of Johnny Terris. Although his film work goes under the name of Latan Wrathchild now. He's like the poster boy for gay metal and doesn't do it in a campy way like so many others do. Totally traditional NWOBHM metalhead kind of guy. If you're queer and a metalhead, chances are you'll love this guy. And he looks like rough version of Johnny Depp. That helps lol latanwrathchild-dot-com

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

@thegrindhousegrotto Thanks for the insight. I'm checking this out now. Hopefully some others do as well. One question, what does NWOBHM mean? I'm not that cool to know. Cheers...

[thegrindhousegrotto]

@BlogsofWoolhouse NWOBHM stands for the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. It's metal from the UK from the late 70's/early 80's. The NWOBHM was the foundation for most metal. Bands like Diamond Head, Girlschool, Jaguar, Saxon Witchfinder General, Iron Maiden, Tank, Raven, Tygers Of Pang Tang, Praying Mantis, Judas Priest etc. It was kind of a mix of punk and metal but leaning more towards the metal side. Look up "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" on wikipedia. Explains a lot :)

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

@thegrindhousegrotto Cheers for that. i googled it and Iron Maiden were coming up alot. Now I know.. Rad.

[Delayedeed]

The vocalist, gaahl, from black metal band gorgoroth is gay!! Anyway, much repect to you.

[lifeinawaxmuseum]

Really? That's cool. I hate how seemingly all other gay people in America are all interested in pop culture and Cher and shit. Ugh. I can't tell you how lame I think all that hullabaloo is...

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

@lifeinawaxmuseum yeah man, totally agree. sometimes though I think some of those types actually really identify with being that way and it kind of gives them a place to fit in. Wether that good or bad I'm not so sure. As long as they feel like they're being themselves, then it is cool with me.

[lifeinawaxmuseum]

@BlogsofWoolhouse I suppose that's true.

[lifeinawaxmuseum]

I'm out here too, metal and gay.

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

@lifeinawaxmuseum Awesome. It seem like there is a little communtiy growing here on Youtube. I think that's pretty cool.

[MrChattyO]

You are who you are! Hell with the norm.

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

@MrChattyO Indeed I do agree.

[zombieghostboy]

I,m a gay metal fan in melbourne, Great to see there is more of us out there..\m/

[GreenGoblin32]

Gay punks and metal heads unite! there needs to be a bigger scene, im tired of getting shit for my long hair and leather jacket from other gays

[visualmicstand]

gay metal head here

[madderbass]

Hey, the band Alarum is from Melbourne! I'm a gay metalhead myself! Gay metalheads unite!

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

Yeah I know Alarum well, my band Desecrator will most probably be doing some shows with them very soon. We just finished recording our 5 track EP with the same dude that recorded their first two albums. They're tracking atm for their next one. I'm sure there will be loads more gay metal heads out there.

[Popprevialishious]

Very cool of you to share man.

[Hackerzero2k]

From a fellow gay punk

Awesome to know I am not alone!

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

Your never alone dude. There are more like us than most people think.

[badmrfrank]

@BlogsofWoolhouse yes there are!

ace video!

[rickT5555]

Great....it's that "instant energy" that makes all the pain worthwhile.......I took my brother for a drink and told him that I had something to tell him; He said:

(a) did you murder someone ? No

(b) did you rape someone ? No

Well what ? I'm gay.

Well that' s alright then ....I thought you did something serious !

And that's the way it was ......now he's a great supporter !

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

Very cool man. Your brother is an awesome person. And i reckon you probably feel allot better having told him now. Nice work mate.

[pamaspamas]

i agree fully in regards to the music. i hate that madonna etc stuff too. i like punk and death metal. I'm a homo. closet case tho....

good luck man.

[jewlerskidsarenice]

ur a brave person to do this so publicly i think if i was gay it would be so scary to do this how did u get the courage to do this?

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

a shot of vodka, a sip of scotch and a beer chaser. LOL na just kidding. The courage comes from with in, you have to be pretty comfortable in your own skin and not really worry about what others may think. Plus if you spend a little time searching youtube there are so many coming out videos. And that's what really inspired me. Many thanks.

[SilentEvil5]

Yes cause It took me like forever just to come out to my mom and dad Cause I always had to be the sportsy Child (FootBall BaseBall Soccer and everything else) But I had to sit down with her one day and I just came saying "Mom I'm gay" and she said...Ok And at first I was shocked cause I expected something like bigger or a whole lecture but yeah No one really actually really cared what I was the point was that I'm family and they love me no matter what people just gotta remember that

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

That's awesome dude. I really like how you said I'm family and they love you know matter what. It would be awesome if every family that had a gay family member had this attitude towards us. I think it's becoming more and more common these days, which is rad.

[SilentEvil5]

Yeah and people get scared sometimes cause they said Their parents are high believers My dad and mom are too And My dad is like the highest one that can be so they just have to be like eased not so scared ya know? Make's it much easier

[Cyberacc]

Adelaide? Conservative? It had the country's first gay Premier. I seem to remember he wore pink hotpants to parliament.

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

Are you from Adelaide?

[Cyberacc]

I grew up in Adelaide. I think it made me gay ;)

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

You really think it made you gay? was it the butch lesbians in Elizabeth?? They can be pretty scary. What part of Adel you from and where do you live now?
