Thinking of coming out? Here's proof that IT DOES GET BETTER!

[dsalab]

Your smile is very cute. I can tell you that you have a big heart. I wish you the best of luck and congrats on the engagement. Sorry my other post was so negative. It's been a rough year with the tornado and all in Tuscaloosa Alabama. I used to live in Kansas and loved watching storms. Not so much anymore. My that puppy did grow. Dogs rock.

[dsalab]

I'm gay and 47. I am not out. I think nobody knows but they do and I know they know. Had a boyfrined for 8 years. He got messed up with drugs. Cleaned out my bank accounts and had received three credit cards in my name activated on my phone so I had to pay off 13K in credit cards. You seem like a great person. I'm glad you have someone to share you life with. I wish I had one 10th of the positive attitude of you.

[signinginoh]

[abbyrod13]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!! i watched both the coming out and the follow up. i must admit that it made me cry. and it gave me hope that someday, maybe someday, i will have t

[wardkel90]

Thank you. I wish I would've seen your videos before I came out as bisexual. I got an overall positive and supportive response, but hurtful things were certainly still said. Your kind words made me cry; I felt like you were speaking directly to me. So again, thank you. You are truly wonderful.

[bnsa]

@wardkel90 - "I felt like you were speaking directly to me"

That's my point, I am. :-)

[asimkhanbest1]

I think i nearly cried lol. But congrats on your engagement. But I have one question it may sound silly but can you speak?

[bnsa]

@asimkhanbest1 - Yes, I can hear and speak just fine... but what makes this work is no words are spoken and yet the words read are more powerful than ever. :-)

[preagle60657]

Great to see you back this year! Congratulations on your engagement, sir. You remain a champion in my book. We are not alone. All of us GLBTs will always have each other and our allies.

I'm in the same boat job-wise, and your video reminds me that you're there with me too... it's good (in a way) to know that as well. Nearly 1000 resumes sent and nothing.

Bless you, sir. You're doing good things here.

[bnsa]

@preagle60657 - Thank you! This is a mighty big boat... we're not alone in it but then again, as long as you're in good company that's all that matters right? :-)

[trapezebear]

How great to see you again. Glad things are going so well. Congrats on your engagement!

[bnsa]

@trapezebear - Thank you my friend :-)

[tamchronin]

Awww! I'm so glad things are still going well for you. (At least, as well as they can, considering the economy and stuff.) I got such warm fuzzies from watching this follow up. May you be blessed the rest of your days. Thank you for sharing, for giving hope, and for being so awesome. Congrats on the engagement, and take care of yourself. ^_^

[bnsa]

@tamchronin - Good to see you replying again! Thank you for spending time with me again too. :-)

[sweatyguns]

I waited so long for this and is relieved that things turn out well. Thanks for the first vid a year ago, and thanks for the update now. I wish you the best and hope your photography business does well.

I will try to figure out the Facebook part.

[bnsa]

@sweatyguns - Open up your facebook page (your main profile) and copy the address bar (everything in it) and send me a private message. I'll click it and add you. ;-)

[credencedawg]

beautiful as ever bnsa, so good to hear from you buddy, and congratulations on your engagement! :0) Yep we still love you, and it isn't just the little drawings! lol though they are great too. You're a beautiful man, and it's so good there are people like you in the world. You always move me with your kindness and brotherliness. Love and hugs from across the pond :0)

[bnsa]

@credencedawg - Hugs back from this side of the pond! *hugs & loves*

[bruinwi]

What with 2 admonishments against homosexuality and 67 against heterosexuality, it shows that the Straight folks need to be watched more closely.

[cgrsmknbr71]

no one is entirely straight or gay. Everyone is potentially bisexual to some extent, whether that is straight jocks that slap each others' asses or gay guys that go for feminine guys. Think about it

[kjvales]

You're still my hero Steven!

[bnsa]

@kjvales Thank you :-)

[MsEnya22]

Steven,

You are an inspiration! Not just because of your orientation, but because you are a truly genuine person, a truly good hearted person! I'm proud to be your friend! You've been there for me when I needed you most... I can ALWAYS count on you! Thank you for being the person you are and for doing the things you do! I love you!

[melacynthe]

I'm jealous of the people who became new facebook friends, I didn't even know it was an option!!!
