I'M A REBEL HEART

 

I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN AND I'M AN ENGLISH TEACHER.

AT THE AGE OF 33 I DECIDED TO TELL MY FAMILY THAT I'M GAY. IT WAS HARD BUT THEY ACCEPTED ME. LAST YEAR IN DECEMBER I DECIDED TO POST ON FACEBOOK THAT I AM HOMOSEXUAL AND I DIDN'T MIND WHAT PEOPLE COULD SAY ABOUT IT OR GOING TO WORK AND LISTENING TO PEOPLE SPEAKING ABOUT IT BEHIND ME BUT MY FREEDOM. I AM AN HONEST PERSON AND IF I GO ON HIDING IT I THOUGHT IT WON'T BE PART OF MY HONESTY. NOW I'M LIVING MY HOMOSEXUALITY AS NATURAL AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME AGO BUT AT THAT TIME I WASN'T PREPARED ENOUGH TO FACE IT AND SOCIETY. MANY OF YOU MAY THINK THAT IT IS SILLY BUT AS I WROTE BEFORE THIS IS NOT A BIG CITY AND PEOPLE HERE IS NOT SO OPEN MINDED AND WHAT'S MORE I'M A TEACHER. MADONNA AND THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME HELPED ME TO FACE MY HOMOSEXUALITY IN PUBLIC AND LIVING MY LIFE AS I REALLY AM. NOW I FEEL HONEST WITH PEOPLE BUT MAINLY WITH MYSELF AGAIN.
