Default Hey there guys and gals

Hey there everyone my name is Joseph Couick I am currently living in roanoke, va with my aunt and I am a gay man. I have known I was gay ever since I was 13 years old. Ever since I came out, I have been made fun of and gaucked at. Everywhere I go with my bf John I hear ppl as we pass by stare, frown, shake there heads, and even yelled out "queers" or "faggots". I am sometimes ashamed of being gay but I dont want to. All I want is to spend time with my bf with out ppl making fun of us as we pass by. So I joined soulforce to help the GLBT community to get the right we deserve. Well thank you guys for your time and I hope we can make a change.

Joseph

Welcome, Joseph. Hold your head up high, brother. You don't have to be ashamed to be who you are. You are already way ahead of most of your peers. You know something important about yourself, and you have accepted it. That's a huge and important step.

Soulforce can help you learn more about the LGBT community. We're glad you're here. What you have to say is important, and we want to hear it.
