Hi!! my name is paulie... im gay... but i didnt tell anyone till about 2 years ago...i was a freshman in high school....i told my friends..... some of them are still my friends.... and some of them.... well.... i guess they were never my friends.... me and my mom were really close we used to do stuff together all the time... i never told my mom i was gay before she past away (cancer is a horrible thing).... but i think she knew anyways.... it will be 5 years this september since she died :( it seems like just yesterday to me :( my dad?? well hes my dad.... hes the big brawny manly type.... we dont really get along at all... sometimes hes ok... but usually i try to stay away.... i havent told him im gay... and im not going to ... he would trip.... hes asked me a few times and i always say no.... i feel like he thinks im pretty much pointless... i dont want to add to that.... but mostly.... im just afraid of him ........................................ i just want to be accepted for who i am.... not judged for what i am...... as some people would say a "faggot".........................................
