Thanks for your comments and emails on yesterdays post. If I get 3 comments here, you bet I’m getting 5 times that many emails – I prefer the comments and I get to reply to the comments more than emails but I appreciate them both.
I only touched on it yesterday about depression but it seems to have opened a can of worms.
Is the gay community more vulnerable to depression?
Despite the evolution in social acceptance, does ‘coming out’ still trouble a lot of us?
I’m not out. My circle of friends here in Aussie think I’m 100% str8. I am completely comfortable with my current situation, you guys know I like girls as well as guys. You know I’ve actually been given a hard time over the years BECAUSE I like girls from my gay friends. If I was 100% out to everyone, I would feel that it would restrict my str8 side.
It is easier for me staying in the closet and I’m fine with that – at this point in my life, I don’t want to identify/explain my sexuality.
Perhaps I’m taking the easy option. It must be terrifying for guys who are gay to come out. I’m sure friendships are lost/broken by coming out which is horrible but a fact of life unfortunately.
Does this whole, explaining ones sexuality bring a bigger risk of depression, anxiety to our community?
I’d love to hear your thoughts guys – I’m off to the pool. Alex can’t make it today, I was going to skip it but I was wearing my black arena speedos and I saw this pic and I want his body which was enough motivation for me to head to the pool.
What a sad day with the news of Robin Williams. He was someone that was a staple growing up.
I once had a business mentor who outwardly seemed like the happiest guy ever. He had a beautiful family, he had a small marketing business which was hard work but doing OK and I found out years later that he suffered from depression in a big way. The last person I would have expected.
I suppose I get stressed and down sometimes but I don’t think I understand what people with depression really go through. Particularly this community is vulnerable to some pretty big issues with coming out and family.
Feel free to share your comments on this.
On to more positive things, guess who is taking Friday afternoon off work? Alex….. What do you guys think that the three of us speedo boys should get up to?
It feels like it was just yesterday when Tom Daley ‘came out’.
In honor of him doing that I made him my 600th ‘Speedo Photo of the Day‘ over on my site SwimmerBoyz.com.
I wonder how Tom is doing with his new ‘outness’? I really hope his family have been supportive, I know you guys, the guys who read my blog are supportive of him.
I wonder if he’d give me an interview?
Here is some more pics of Tom looking absolutely gorgeous in his speedos.
