I Share My Personal Experiences As A Gay Man In My Pride Month Comic
Hi everyone, I’m Doodlemancer and I enjoy telling stories. I usually draw light-hearted comics but today, I would like to share my personal struggles as a gay man for Pride Month.
I’ve always been afraid to talk about my sexuality and that left me feeling isolated for years. I hope by sharing my story, I can reach out to others who are struggling just like me.
And to everyone who was bullied or has suffered for being different, know that you are wonderful just for being you and that no amount of prejudice and hate can change that. Thank you and I hope you enjoy my story.

I feel you- I'm also gay, and a Singaporean. It's alright! Hang in there, ok? Pinkdot is coming up too! so that gives us a kinda voice. :)

I truly hope that one day you feel confident enough to no longer hide the truth from your family and friends. It saddens me that homosexuality is still taboo in many countries and that some friends and family can turn their back on the people they supposedly love because of their sexuality. I wish you peace and all the best for the future.

I'm sorry to learn that your country isn't respectful of people's sexuality and that you have to live a life where you don't feel safe to be open about such an important part of yourself. Things are changing worldwide, but unfortunately not as fast as it should. I hope one day you'll be able to live the life you wish and deserve to live. There's nothing wrong with you. Love from Brazil ❤

Thank you! I heard about how you guys are fighting hard to defend LGBT rights against the homophobic Jair Bolsonaro. Keep up the good fight!

I've noticed that homophobes tend to spend a lot more time obsessing on gay sex than actual gays do. In fact, male homophobes seem to be particularly obsessed with the intricate details of male homosexual sex acts. Frankly, if I find something to be off-putting or "disgusting" I try to spend as little time thinking about it as possible.

The exact same is done to polyamorous people. Everyone constantly focuses on the sex, when polyamory isn’t about sex. It’s about having multiple and concurrent ETHICAL non-monogamous relationships; sex is incidental.

What is going on with these downvotes? Usually bored panda people aren't a steaming pile of bigots. Did the bigots bring a tour bus here or what?

It's a bunch of f*****g right-wing trolls who just can't stand that not everyone is a conservative with conservative views.

One of the many reasons we need pride. 60 or so countries, it's forbidden by law. Completely sick. And how about God huh, creating people who are born sinners, how f****d up is he!? Or she, or whatever.

Same in Poland. Old polish are like rocks. Without brain... They think, that homosexuality is a disease. It's sad and I am ashamed of this country.

One thing that I like to remember is that one operative word... old. It's a bit grim, but the bigots are largely older people, while the ones who struggle are generally younger. We will outlast then, and we'll make it our world.
