I Am Straight
I finally plucked up the courage to come out and reveal to my friends and family that I'm a heterosexual. It wasn't easy. I was worried that I wouldn't be accepted, and that I would be treated like some kind of freak. With all the hetrophobia that straight people have to deal with nowadays I found it difficult to be honest about who I really was. Society demands all men to behave in a feminine manner, and here I am wanting to reveal myself as a masculine hetro.
I sat down with my family and explained that I'm a man that's was born into the body of a man. They looked at me bemused. I explained that I'm attracted to women. That was the straw that broke the camels back. My father said that he wouldn't be able to deal with the shame that I had brought upon my family. He said he just wanted me to be a normal feminine homosexual like all the other men. He told me I had to leave the family home. I have been shunned for being different. I don't know what I should do. Should I just pretend to be gay so that I can be accepted by my family and society?
