It Gets Better: Chris from Calgary Alberta

A very short version of the story of my journey. I was raised an evangelical Christian, and told how unacceptable it was to be gay - struggled in my teenage years, and married a girl. Now, at the age of 28, I have ended my marriage and am honest with who I am, and it really does get better. Email me chris.koene@hotmail.com if you wish to hear more of my story.

. It beggers believe that there is such people in the UK who goes out their way to try to force someone to take their own lifes. The last thing they said "Yours better of dead no one will miss a gay bastard like you", How do I react to that. It seems like a whirlwind it goes away for a couple of months and it starts again.

They have a thing called it gets better in the USA. I wish sometimes it would get better here in the UK. I thought the UK was so diverse, but I was wrong, today I walked from my sisters house to my own, I was called a faggot, and was told I had H.I.V./Aids. I am a homosexual, I do not have either H.I.V. nor do I have Aids
