i just thought that this is a good topic for us to think about, with the gay student suicides going on, the corbin fisher scandal, and every day that we grew up. check out this video:

i also thought this would be and interesting place to discuss how bullying has shaped us as human beings, and what we did in our lives to reverse it.
personally, i never came out of the closet in high school, and most people in college were accepting of me as a gay man. but i was bullied on the topic of my weight. those of us who remember a member called kodaaa (or something like that). he came onto the scene as a fouton hopeful. he left me one of the nastiest comments i have ever heard on my profile. then Mike R amongst others stepped up and defended me because they realized i am so much more than just an overweight gay man.
in high school it was pretty harsh to walk down the halls and hear comments about my size, and even now, when im working in my store and parents come up to the counter with their kids and one of their kids makes a comment about my size, the parents do nothing to correct what their kids said. just something i think about on a daily basis.
well finally i decided to give in to the suggestions of a certain few friends and joined a chub, chaser, and bear community called BiggerCity.com. that has turned my whole outlook towards my size upside down. i now have a boyfriend who loves my body for exactly how it is, and others that worship my curves. i hear a lot of people that are going through things like bariatric surgery to correct their weight not for health reasons, but for their looks. I often hear how people cant wait to finally be "attractive". its amazing how we have morphed beauty into something waifish and weak. instead lets appreciate the beauty within all of us.
so that was my story, i feel this is a great way for people to get to know where my self confidence comes from, and why i can often seem to have a larger than life personality. id like to hear some other peoples stories. lets remember, the fastest way to cure pain, is to tell the doctor exactly what is going on, and i feel like we have a lot of pain surrounding us.
