Thank you for sharing your story. Its like hearing an echo as you speak, looking inward. Very inspiring and beautiful. I have the extreme pleasure to play on one of the teams in the nation that competes in the Bingham cup. Mark's memory continues to live on and I continue to be amazed at the world. Best regards to you.

@Built2Fast JB, Thanks for the coomment. Mark and his mother Alice were a huge part of me coming out and they still are part of my life. I'm in a documentary about Mark's life that's being made over a 5 year span. You could watch the trailer online. Type in "The Mark Bingham Story" on Google and the link will come up. I'm the guy on the field with the blue cap and I'm standing with Alice.

Thanks again for the comment!

Rick, proud of you, and YOU should be proud of yourself. I have no doubt that you will be a major positive influence on fragile gay guys. Wish there were more guys like you, and because of you, there will be. Thank you.

@tahoemack Thanks man. That was very sweet and kind of you.

Hey, just found your vids after watching stuff about the Mark Bingham documentary on depfox's channel. This is an amazing story, how you were inspired to come out :). The closet is a dark fearful place, and I hope to be out soon! Seeing videos like this on YouTube have brought me along so much with accepting myself and wanting to be able to be myself, they have been my inspiration (like mark was yours). Just by posting this, you are no doubt helping lots of young LGBT deal with this :)

Your story reminds me alot of how I felt growing up, Thanks for the video. It is good to see other masculine guys tell their story. I feel like being masculine definetly made it hard to come out just because no one sees it coming, It comes as a big surprise to people. I felt like I was going to let my friends down, I felt like I was going to be made fun of. It was very hard for me to accept who I am but now that I have it feels much better.

Yeah it I'd terrifying because people look at people who as gay being gay or people who r black white it asian as being asain and if people get past that point if OMG he or she is different and seeing people as omg he or she is different it doesnt matter i don't want the world to be the same then maybe just maybe just maybe we will be one step closer to peace and true equality ...ps that was inspiring cause at a younger age ( cuz I am only fourteen now) I really didn't have crushes on guys but

Amazing and inspiring story, this is my second time watching it, and it still gave me goosebumps.

I am glad you shared, and I hope your life is full of happiness!
