Personal, and potentially emotional, content after the jump. Have a peek of the awesome 427 Monaro (yes, the one with the C5-R's engine) before it.

My high school crush became a lesbian. Yes, I find this funny, as in laugh-worthy funny. No idea why.

It could always stranger. I was the last guy a girl dated before she came out of the closet.

How's that for awkward?

She was a friend of mine from childhood, and we'd long suspected it. Put it to you this way: she didn't buy Maxim for the articles. She had told me at the time we started dating that she liked girls, but didn't want to. Her father had angrily told her that it was just some sort of phase and she needed to go out and date a guy, and she tried really hard to believe that. She was daddy's little girl, and about the only thing she ever cared about was that he approved of her.

We "dated" for a while, but we used it as a mask to allow her to go out and meet up with a couple of her friends that were openly gay. This went on for several months until she finally worked up the courage to come out to her family and lay down the word of law on that with her father. She asked me and one other girl to be there, and let me tell you, that was a hard night. Her father got very angry at first, and kicked her out, but eventually came to accept her.

To this day, we still joke that because I was the guy she "dated" before she came out, that I was the reason she became a lesbian. There was still a little awkwardness between her and I for a little while, because I realized that I really did have feelings for her. It's hard not to when you care a lot about a girl, and the two of you share each other's most intimate feelings and experiences with each other. But, in the end, nature won out over me, and in retrospect, I'm glad. She had a rough time immediately after coming out, but once she got past that, I'd never seen her happier.

On the bright side, I got a great wingman out of it, a girl I could talk girls with, and a lifelong friend.

If you think that that sucks, then try looking at it from a different perspective.

The simple truth is, neither girl simply woke up one day and said, "You know what? I've decided to be a lesbian today!" It's not an on or off switch. It's something that they've felt, lived with, and struggled with for a long time before they finally came out. It's hard to struggle with any aspect of your identity, let alone your sexuality. It can make life absolutely miserable every waking moment of every day. What's worse is that when many people do choose to announce to their friends and family that they are gay, it isn't always because they are confident, have come to terms with it, and have the courage to simply say it. Sometimes, it's because the stress of trying to reject themselves and their identities, and the fear of prejudice, simply wears at them until they finally breakdown. That's the way it wound up happening with my friend.

That is what sucks. Seeing someone, anyone, go through that kind of torment because they are afraid of not only who they are, but of how others that are close to them will treat them. That's painful; it's absolutely brutal. And that's just being someone watching it happen. I can only imagine what it must be like for the individuals themselves, like my friend.

The fact that your first kiss, Darkcode's high school crush, or my friend came out as lesbians doesn't suck. It's a good thing. It means that they put themselves out there and, one way or the other, came to terms with their identities and their preferences. It ended a great deal of emotional turmoil for them, and let them be happy with who they are. I don't know what the situation is with your first kiss or with Darkcode's high school crush. But for me, I get to see my friend, that same little girl that I grew up with (and once actually kicked the crap out of me when we were little), be happy and alive. To top it all off, I still have a great friend.

That doesn't suck in the least.

I know, I have homosexual family members, I get the vibe.

It doesn't really suck, I was making a joke. If anything it's (from my perspective) a kinda comical little 'fun fact' about my life. A satire on my love life if you well.
