I'm a teacher and community organizer who knows and works with many young people who are courageous in accepting who they are, and being truthful to the people in their life which creates deeper and honest relationships. I'm a former basketball coach (22 years) and soccer referee (7 years) and consider soccer to be the greatest players game in sport. Finally, I came out 5 years ago when I was 50, first to select friends, then my mom (who was 85 and totally awesome!), family, colleagues, improv comedy troupe, and eventually my district. Following your story, while similar to mine, albeit 30 years later, is uplifting and I have the greatest respect for you. You inspire people to be true to themselves by your personal example. Bravo to you and have an incredible season playing the world's greatest sport!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095913441506295275.post-67505910937141949512011-01-16T14:34:40.337-05:002011-01-16T14:34:40.337-05:00Cash-sent it again lolCash-sent it again lolsocrkid17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11555526517181969629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095913441506295275.post-68456101723814672312011-01-16T14:34:24.016-05:002011-01-16T14:34:24.016-05:00Thanks everyone for commenting!

The reason I check in from time to time is two-fold. First, I write a blog too so there is a bit of a busy-body in me - chalk it up to curiosity. Second, I find your posts interesting. It makes me think back to a poignant period in my life.BosGuyhttp://www.bosguy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095913441506295275.post-5466536063829177852011-01-14T18:52:12.205-05:002011-01-14T18:52:12.205-05:00I read because I'm currently trying to accept ...I read because I'm currently trying to accept who I am and begin the coming out process to my family.

I try to encourage them to come out if at all possible. The stress of living in the closet and not accepting oneself has caused me to have to deal with depression and a 4 way heart bypass. I have been very successful in business but don't have anyone to share my success with. I have followed your life and I am so happy for you. These hard decisions you are making will pay dividends in your later life. I wish I had your courage when I was you age..drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802343109885478260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095913441506295275.post-46755411080214939392011-01-14T03:12:37.591-05:002011-01-14T03:12:37.591-05:00I follow because I can totally relate to how you f...I follow because I can totally relate to how you feel about having to hide such a big part of who you are. I am also in the closet and still trying to figure out who I am through college. I try to envision myself coming out to my parents (like you have) so in a way, your blog lets me think about something that I may have to eventually do. I admire your courage and really enjoy reading about your life as it is VERY similar to the one I'm living now. You've helped me through a lot believe it or not.

I dunno, I think its human nature to be interested in people who are like us, especially when there's not many of us around. on top of that you're just a cool guy! <br /><br />ya I hear you about bein extra gay on here haha me too, its probably cuz I can just say stuff that I was sorta thinkin about, but wouldn't usually say out loud. easy to just type it out, and know ppl wont give a fuck hahaTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085163800976165758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095913441506295275.post-36259485780864100662011-01-13T23:53:54.494-05:002011-01-13T23:53:54.494-05:00Socrkid: I read because the coming out process, fi...Socrkid: I read because the coming out process, first acceptance by yourself, then your family and friends is something all gay (and bi guys) can relate to - so that is something that binds and connects us even though we are physically far away. And the fact that you are an athlete makes your struggle a bit harder than most since athletics is not as welcoming to gays as other fields. Seeing you succeed reinforces the hope I have for all of us.fan of caseynoreply@blogger.com
