I’m From Fairfield, CA. I am an openly gay man that is married to another openly gay man. We love one another but we have both agreed that our marriage is over. We were one of the 18,000 couples legally married in California in 2008.

I’ve been having an affair with a man who has been married to a woman for 25 years. They were high school sweethearts. We’ve been seeing one another for a little over 9 months. I am the first man he has ever been in love with. There have been many other men that he had meaningless encounters with but with me he has done it all. He’s fought it because he didn’t want to be gay but he is.

I’m From Singapore. Yesterday, (or was it two days ago? I can’t remember) my friend told me she was hurt when I told her I was gay. It was not because she was homophobic–if anything, she’s definitely approving of it–it was that I chose to tell her when I was physically furthest from her. I chose to put 15,349 kilometers between her and myself and 4 years of friendship before I informed her. That made me wonder, would she have been happier if I had never told her? But I don’t want to keep my closest friends in the dark.

I’m From Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. I went through high school, University and a Graduate degree and not once did I tell a soul that I was gay until a month and a half before my 29th birthday. It wasn’t until I had an emotional breakdown that I realized I had separated myself from everyone in my life. When I needed help and support the most, there was no one I could turn to and that’s when I had to come out.

I’m From Louisville, KY. In 1998 I was living in a small town that was about two hours from Louisville. I realized that I probably would never meet another lesbian in this town so I turned to online dating sites for lesbians. In May 1998 I met my spouse. She drove to my small town to meet me and we connected instantly. I fell in love with her beautiful blue eyes, blond hair, and the strength I felt in her arms. On May 23, 1998, we made our relationship official as we moved in together; I, of course, moved to Louisville.

I’m From Scotia, NY - Video Story. My name is Kyle and I’m from Scotia, in upstate New York, kind of near Schenectady. I grew up an only child up there with my parents and a dog, going camping just about every weekend in the Adirondacks, so it was kind of a very different life from living in New York City where I live now. I went to fashion school, I went to FIT, and I think my first year there my mom called me just to check in and see how I was doing and she had said her best friend’s daughter had come out as a lesbian. And I was like, oh, that’s crazy.
