My name is Phil and I'm 18 years old. I'm gay and out to a lot of people. Apparently I maintained a straight persona so well that people didn't believe I was gay. In fact, some people still don't believe me. It's okay though because the one person that matters most believed me, and she loves me just the same as she did when I was "straight". My mom has embraced my lifestyle as if it were her own. I've never seen a woman buy so much pride regalia in such a short time, but I love her for her acceptance and pride about who I am. Both of my parents raised me, but my dad was in and out of the picture a lot. I guess the military has that affect. We move a lot as well, but I see that as a chance to see new places and meet new people. After high school I hope to get some sort of college education and become a teacher, and since history has always been my strong suit in school, I had kind of hoped on teaching it. Anyways, that's me in a nutshell. Enjoy the blogs!
