@Tory Shaye She proud of the fact that she has a son who's accepted himself instead of hating himself which is good. There's so much to be proud of, proud of him proud of herself and I frankly am happy for both of them, Tory Shaye, why do you have to be this way? Why do you dislike people who think they're either a girl or a boy? Or do you like transgender people and are you just trolling?

Sometimes, a person comes out and everything goes wrong. I lost everything. I have seen so many wonderful stories about coming out. I wish I had kept it a secret. Not looking for sympathy, but there are instances when you are left all alone. Has this happened to anyone else?

@jo jo I'm so sorry for what you have experienced. As a straight person, I can only imagine how challenging it would be to come out and then have people basically abandon you. You DO NOT deserve to be alone. Perhaps, in the future, those that couldn't cope with your truth will wake up and realize that loving someone should be unconditional. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if those people still care and love you very much. It is their own issues that are keeping them from showing you that love. Sadly, there are likely many people out there who have had similar coming out experiences...so you are definitely not alone in that regard. You are also not alone in other ways. There are people all around the world, me included, who don't even know you but care about you and have love for you. You can make your own family by choosing people who accept you and love you no matter what. You are worthy of love, so don't ever forget that. I don't know what your personal beliefs are but I happen to believe that God is with us all and loves us all, making it impossible for us to truly ever be alone. I wish you well and I thank you for sharing your experience. I am sure that many others can relate. Never give up and always remember that no matter what YOU ARE LOVED. God bless

Sorry to hear yours wasn't a good coming out. The good thing is that there's many resources out there to help you theough your loneliness. There's actually more stories related to yours then the ones that are good coming out stories. I came out 14 years ago and was alone. After years of therapy, mistakes and going out of my comfort zone to learn this part of me, I'm finally happy and it was worth the going through the pain, looking back at it. Believe that your life will be better and be proud of yourself for coming out. The right people will come to you if you're willing to better yourself and your situation. It all starts with believing things will be better and then take actions to make them better. Take control of yourself. Things will be up and down. When the downs happens, don't give up. Pick yourself up and keep moving forward, one baby step at a time. Wishing you the best. Xoxo

I never knew Ian was gay, until he discussed it during the press tour for "X-Men: Days of Future Past". It didn't phase me at all. I thought, "Huh. Okay. Cool. Whatever." He's hilarious and sweet, and from what I've seen, he's also a shameless flirt.

It is not difficult to relate to what Sir Ian shared in this context, regarding the inability to tell when you are talking to a fellow gay. It was not something I could explore myself, having discovered myself to be gay during high school. I tried to suppress it in my early 20s, but I realized it was for all the wrong reasons. I would be amiss to deny that I owe much of what I’ve discovered since then to the example of people like Sir Ian McKellen. The danger zone for me is that, some of the people that I associate it with when I tried concealing my orientation even from myself were people who are fans of Sir Ian’s work but anti-gay.

People don't realise how insidious section 28 was. It meant that kids who were being terrorised and persecuted for their sexuality would be refused help and protection in school because to do so could be construed as promotion of homosexually. Vicious and unnecessary law.

I dont know what it is about this man that i find both annoying and fascinating. He certainly is a character that you cant miss in a room full of people. He stands out from the crowd. Somehow. And he would stand out even if he weren't famous.
