Gay male coming out stories
In partnership…
Before barbershops were chilly and LGBTQ+ issues were being pushed forward, there was @rudysbarbershop. Since ‘93, this Seattle-based hub has been a proponent for inclusion, helping all people – straight, gay, bi and in between – express themselves through hair. 25 years, a product line, and many barbershops later, Rudy’s is still championing the cause of identity. True to their ‘For Everybody’ roots, Rudy’s supports partners like @itgetsbetterproject and @lalgbtcenter and donates shower products to shelters that serve LGBTQ+ youth.
Ironic puns aside, allow us to get straight to the point here: The LGBTQ experience in today’s America is more fraught than it has been in recent years.
This is thanks to an administration (*not-so-subtle cough* Donald Trump and Kool-Aid drinkers) that has alienated and targeted ethnic minority groups, disabled persons and members of the LBGTQ community, sadly among very many others.

23."At around 28 years antique, I had a decent grasp that I'm overwhelmingly gay, with some infrequent and specific attraction towards women. I wasn't interested in doing anything sexual for the first 23 years of my existence, including masturbation. Then my internal sexual ‘switch’ was turned on. I gradually developed more and more sexual tension to the point it was feeling distressed. After a not many months of experiencing very novel and intense sexual feelings, I overcame my fear of masturbation and started doing it to various kinds of vertical and gay porn. It didn't take long to figure out that I liked men to an extent, but it took me years to flesh out the details."
"At 30 years old, I experienced sexual attraction to a man for the first time after we’d been online friends for a month. I came out to some close online friends and got into online dating for the first time. Then COVID happened and online online dating became too stressful, so I'm holding off on meeting prospective partners until it’s more safe.
My next goal is to say my parents and family about my sexuality. That's still a work in progress." —u/rbtur
Here are three different coming out experiences from new people in North Lanarkshire:
I was 16 when I came out as gay, I was nervous to tell anyone but when I started to reveal people it was fond of a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Most people already knew that I was gay because they could tell when they first saw me or when I was little. I came out just when the movie Love, Simon came out in cinema. There was a scene where Simon got outed in front of his school and he got bullied for it and I was thinking what if that happens to me? But luckily it didn’t. My brother also found out that I was homosexual, but later he died and a while after he passed my aunt told me that he accepted me as creature gay and this made me happy.
But over all my family and friends all accepted me for who I was. I was supported loads by my youth workers and my LGBTQI+ youth collective where I have made a lot of recent friends.
My coming out encounter wasn’t exactly the greatest, it wasn’t all supportive and loving like some or instantly disowned fond others, but it certainly didn’t grant my family the family of the year award! I came out around 3 years ago when I w
