Tag Archives: Coming Out

A reader, nrnsyrh, shared this heartbreaking story of her "coming out" into her sexuality. The reader spent her whole teenage life struggling against her sexuality, wondering why she was always attracted to girls. She says she has never been attracted to boys her whole life and felt alone and ostracized because of the experience since everyone around her was attracted to members of the opposite sex.

Every gay man has a coming-out story, but I believe in a coming-out place, a place which links us to our rite-of-passage point at Tanjong Pagar; a place which reminds us that, before our collective memory in the gay space of Tanjong Pagar, we each have a space that is unique to our own gayhood.
