Eric's Coming Out Story

Eric grew up in a small suburb where being gay was not accepted. However, he overcame his fears of coming out to his family and friends, and believes every gay person should come out. Eric's story is part of the I Want the World to Know Initiative, which seeks to eradicate homophobia. Check out more stories at www.IWantTheWorldToKnow.org.

Ciao Bello!

I know "Amico Mio" that you've dedicated your channel to the systematic collection and "Uploading" of these great contributions to the "Coming Out" archive! And were I able to address "Eric" alone, what I would say would be no different from what I wish to express to you! These videos are of great import, no matter their age! And you both make Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here, beam with "Pride" and gratitude!

OMG!! I love you!! I'm 18 and I'm from Colombia, a country where being gay is a crime, but I'm so happy that in the last year I have been able to discover my worth and realize that I'm not alone that as you said there are a lot of people that are going thru my same issues, now I just need the strenght to come out to my family, I know that is gonna suck but I'm sure sure that I will survive!!!
