National Coming Out Day

Well, the day has come and gone; I made a few posts on Facebook and made more specific reference on Twitter, but it doesn't feel like it had the release I had last year.  I'm positive everyone but my parents and a few other people who haven't picked up the hints I've dropped over the years know anyway.

Following up on something I mentioned in an earlier post, I've opened a public blog under my real name that is eventually going to replace all my other blogs.  I have my Twitter feed linked to the side bar on that blog, and if anyone looks at that I have a feeling there's no doubt in my mind that they would know I'm gay.  I think I may hold off on explicitly making reference to my sexuality on the blog itself until my parents know, but it's a matter of time.  I may try to get it added to Queer Canada Blogs too.  Rick left a comment on an earlier post about making sure you have a voice in the world, and that voice being authentic.  I wonder how authentic my voice can be if I'm still hiding behind a pseudonym.  

Anyway, please e-mail me directly at astrangeboy@live.ca for the blog address, if you're interested in reading.
