I think that this is really interesting and well researched. However, i feel that the model, though useful, is problematic when describing homosexuality. I believe that human behavior is deeply complex and cannot be explained by simple sets of statements.

It however fills me with joy the work that you have done here to educate and inform people about being gay. Hopefully one day, there will be no need for coming out, there will be no hype about being gay and it will be accepted by all.

Perhaps most gay men are miserable because they have to deal with insidious, vile people like you!.

Oh and very nicely done video by the way too!

[ingramje1969]

Thank you so much for posting your advice! I think it was very well thought out and it's something that I'll be able to adapt to my own situation someday! I wish I'd have had this advice years ago, since I've still in the closet. Strangely, though, I am only closeted to my family, ALL of my friends are aware of my homosexuality and everyone has been very positive and supportive! I couldn't have asked for anything better in terms of my friends, but my family is going much harder. Thanks you!

Tanks for your vid. I was 16 when I realised that I was gay but it took to 21 before I told it to a friend (third stage as you might say). He is straight but was very understanding. Who has a fiend like him? He is still my best friend, although I have a gay friend too. They get along very well. Hope you're doing allright and thanks for your video. Cheers.
