Dear OSA...

[PLOL]

Congratulations my friend, you did it. Happy belated birthday

[OSA]

TYVM, It was hard but I finally stop being a pussy and did what was necessary

[Dan Druff]

Explain

[PLOL]

OSA is free to explain if he wishes. It's not really my place to say

[OSA]

I admitted to a few people my love for cock.

Then why did you make this thread instead of sending a PM?

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

This thread is better than gay porn!

To wish him a happy birthday and what not. I'll have to re-check with Druff but I believe I still have thread making privileges on this forum.

So OSA came out to his family?

I'll actually admit to the fact that I was never sure OSA really liked guys, or if he was just doing this as a gag for all these years. This possibility was reinforced when OSA made some comment about Vwls' leg looking hot, when she was just trying to post a picture of her cat and her leg was in the side of the picture.

Now, OSA, I realize that you have claimed before to be bi, but if that's true, why bother coming out to (presumably disapproving) family members if you might end up with a woman anyway?

Or have you gone the PLOL route and slowly moved away from being into girls as the years have passed?

I LOVE LADY.. LADY COMING!

So OSA came out to his family?

And friends. I was actually surprised when OSA first told me that he wasn't out to anybody irl. Most people don't know this but me and OSA have actually formed a friendship off the site. We started talking on aim about a year ago and since then we frequently IM or text (it was always strictly platonic). We even briefly floated the idea that we could be roommates in Brooklyn as I had the idea that I wanted to move to NYC (I later chose Chicago). At the time I wasn't out to my family, only to friends. We made a pact that we should come out on the same day (I believe it was June 1st). Me to my family and him to his friends. Anyway, on June 1st we both chickened out. A few weeks later I came out to my family but OSA was still apprehensive. He later chose his b-day as the day to do it. He came out to his Mom on his bday and to his friends the next day at his bday celebration. He texted me throughout and told me that he would've never came out if it wasn't for me, which actually meant a lot to me.

So I decided to make this thread because I wanted to congratulate him. I know OSA is a goofy/strange persona on this site, but I know it actually was very tough for him to do this (and I can relate). In many cases, coming out is one of the hardest things a gay person has to do. Now why somebody like Vegas1369, who is obviously a very miserable and arrogant person, would have a problem with that, I'm not sure. But I guess everybody is entitled to their opinion. Cheers mate, I hope your week gets better.

[Hockey Guy]

Pretty sure you've misread vegas's comment.

Oh yeah, & congrats OSA. It's a big step you've undertaken & we're generally happy for you & support you in this decision. Well, almost everybody anyway.

Wow, really?

Pretty bad read there. Miserable and arrogant, huh?

Go back and re read your thread. I didn't insult you or OSA, I just simply asked why you didn't send him a PM when you yourself said he might not want this public. I, along with a lot of other members here, don't like being teased when it comes to gossip.

Well, good for OSA. I guess all of his twink-loving posts were serious, rather than a troll job. I could never figure out what the real situation was.

I do believe that coming out (especially to family) is an extremely hard thing to do for a gay person, and I can understand the apprehension to do so. It is especially tough if your family has made disparaging remarks about gays in the past.

I believe that most gay people had no choice in the matter, and forcing yourself to live a lie for the approval of others must be miserable.

When I think about the plight of others in situations that don't apply to me, I try to picture, "What if that were me? How would I feel, and what would I do?"

If I were gay, I probably also would have had a hard time coming out to my family. They would have still loved me, accepted it, and dealt with it, but at the same time I know they would have been disappointed to hear it. It is probably especially difficult when your parents were brought up at a time when being gay was equated to something bad, which extended beyond religious reasons.

Fortunately I never had to deal with this, being straight. There didn't have to be any coming out. I was fortunate enough to fall in line with expectation.

However, if I were gay, I wouldn't have lived a lie. You can't force yourself into heterosexual relationships if you're homosexual and be happy, nor can you be happy by having your relationships in secret and just pretend to be a perpetual bachelor. So I understand the importance of the coming out process, even if it's one I will never experience myself.

Thread obv needs a Projekt: Step update, and Druff should let OSA's "friend" phone into the radio show, haven't heard him in a very long time.

Are you kidding.
He has perpetuated and obsessed about his love of the cock since... forever.

Also, I am pretty sure almost all of his friends and family either knew he was in the closet or else had very strong suspicion of his sexual orientation.

But it's definitely better for him emotionally to be officially out, obv.

[vegas1369]

I was man enough to admit I was wrong and apologized to PLOL when I gave him shit in the wormhole thread, let's see if he's man enough to do the same. Pretty offensive stuff there PLOL.

At any rate, congratulations OSA, hope this is only met by the people that you care about with positive reactions. I imagine this had to be somewhat terrifying, and one of the hardest things you have ever had to do. Takes some big cojones to face your fears and do what you feel is right. Mazel tov.
