Coming out

-
Does this spell the end of Don't ask-Don't tell on FABO? If so Good matters little to me and by the looks of it to anyone else. You will get no ruckus here.
 
David,

I give you all the credit in the world for coming out. I know it must have been very hard for you to do. You have been a great friend to me and have helped me through some very difficult times. I will always be indebted to you, and your sexual orientation has nothing to do with that...nor will ever change that. I consider you my friend, and I always will.
 
That took lots of courage and I commend you.

You obviously have lots of friends here because a real friend doesn't care or want to care what you do behind closed doors.
 
It does not matter what sex or person you like here.

What matters here is your love for Mopars.
 
Wow, you guys. I was not prepared for the kindness and acceptance y'all have shown me tonite. My thanks to every one of you. I don't think you realize how this feels to me. I told myself that if I got a bad reaction, at least I know what people really think. But there's still that kid in me who remembers the mean things people said, and wants to feel ok.

Just being honest, nothing that deserves being called brave.

Again my hope is that we can let young people know we love and support them, so they can grow to be healthy, happy and productive members of society.

People are people, all of us included.
Some of the most respected (by me) people happen to be different than than the widely socially accepted also.
The mind is what matters in every person I meet.
But a cutie brunett female kinda makes my own mind wander a bit.

Hey, don't judge me dude. :glasses7: :)
 
All of us here share a common bond- the love of MoPars. Your true friends will accept you as you are- and as for the rest of them, it's thier problem! Don't know you, but since you have never done anything to harm me, I have no right or reason not to be your friend. I have enough trouble living my own life, let alone trying to live someone else's. Just keep the 'cuda nice and stay strong!

Yesterday was National Coming Out Day. So I'm a day late. I'm a gay man.

I have no problem with that.

However I must admit after reading those first two sentences. I was dreading reading the responses. I expected quite the opposite response from what I found. Nice to see I was wrong.

You still seem the same to me this morning. :) I'm sure that first post took a lot of guts, and probably quite a bit of time to write and submitt. Well, now it's done and I don't see any lynch mob in sight. Carry on as before.
 
You always seemed to be a decent person goldfish, what you do in your private time has no bearing on this in my eyes. Like Mike said, i don't even try to understand.

Reason there is no lynch mob is because for the most part we are all adults here and are friends. Friends are people who do not judge no matter what the circumstances are. Like I said before I will never judge you, you are my friend and will be till the end. I always enjoy getting PM's from you and just talking in general. You are one of the strongest men I know, it took alot of guts to put yourself out there in a crowd of manly men.

And guys thank you for seeing David for who he is and not judging him. He is a good guy and a great friend.

Okay, I can accept you being an Atheist.
But, are you an Eagles Fan?
Please say it isn't so..........(lol)

no, but I did play an oakland raiders fan on TV once!
it was a commercial for NFL sunday ticket and a bunch of bikers were terrorizing the new family in town
 
I consider it a non-issue, however I understand your need to express yourself in this manner. Kudos to you for feeling comfortable enough here to publicly "come out".

Man...It couldnt have been easy to post this. It takes alot in you to make a statement like this..and to me awsome. You have to feel relieved. I know lots of guys and girls that are gay. No big deal. Really who cares.There not doing anything bad to anyone, matter affact alot of them i know are nicer people then a majority of people i know. People see TV and hear **** and then theres the stereotype. Bullshit. I dont give a rats *** if your gay, green, black,yellow, brown ,white or aqua......If your not hurtin anyone your good with me. Ive been picked on since grade 7..still to this day it happens occassionally........It sucks but you get strong. Congrats to you.:prayer:
 
I'm color and gender blind, I judge people by whether or not they follow societies rules and are a productive member. That also means staying the hell out of jail and taking responsibility for your actions. Kudos to you Goldfish I know, since I also have gay friends, that what you said did not come easy and yes I have a secret also, I'm an Evolutionist so there I said it.:thumrigh:
 
This was not the response I expected.............. & I sure am glad. I would have sworn that there would have been a lot of negativity. For this I have to apologize to the whole FABO family for having underestimated you.

My hat is off to you Goldfish for the courage it took to come out.
 
I grew up with a gay uncle. I kinda thought that it was a pretty typical thing. Wasn't until I was in high school before I found out otherwise.
I don't know you, but one thing I will ask of you is this, take care of yourself. My uncle contracted AIDS way back when it was first discovered. He's gone now and I miss him. When he passed his body was treated like a pariah.
We've come a long way since then, but I would still hate to hear about it.
