That little boy who held something in his hand has grown up to be a brave man. You're amazing!

I must say I regret hearing you told people that you would never have chosen being gay. I can't think of any other positive human attribute or variation where that statement would make sense, or where a comment like that would go unnoticed by so many other posters.

I may not know you, but that must've been a really hard thing to do. You should be so proud of yourself and if not, I'm willing to bet everyone here is. 
Wow that's a courageous thing to do.
When I was back at school, I would have had a harder time telling one of my classes I was gay than I would my own parents. Which is probably why I didn't tell anyone from my school until I'd left and gone to college.
I don't know what it was that happened but in the short 6 weeks that people at my school had between going from School to college, they seemed to mature loads (for the most part) and bury any problems they had with anyone else from the school.
So well done to you, things might be tough to start with, but for all the people that give you stick for it, there'll be twice as many who do quite the opposite.

I'll echo what everyone else is saying...very proud and happy for you. You really are one of the greatest guys I've met since I came out. Wish you lived near enough to me----so that I could lay a huge hug on you.

I wish I was there in the lecture because I definitely find myself tearing other people down sometime just for the feel of the superiority. 
And I don't even realize it, I just do it, sadly, like a second nature.
You seem like an awesome prof and person.

Thanks for sharing that with us Killjoke. That was fantastic ! Brilliant, in fact.

I agree with Elvin on this one. Perhaps the students will see from Killjoke saying this :
a) The honesty.
b) That being gay is not a choice.
c) The struggle that many gay guys have in accepting who they are.
There will probably be students at the school who are struggling with who they are and telling themselves that they aren't one of those homos. It's all very well and good and touchy-feely to tell them that coming out as a gay man is such fun, but that's not always the case, is it ? It's not much fun at all, for some guys. It is much easier to be like your friends and conform. You can be honest about this, but still have pride !
My friend, I have such deep and abiding respect for JAG, that I only want to say a couple of other things. You are courageous, and it is now a fait acompli.
Deep down I know this will probably not be the last thing you hear about what you did. When the other shoe drops, I want you to remember how your JUB buddys supported you and to use it to bouy you up. Thanks.

Killjoke ... Matt ...
I'm not sure how you might be taking all of the Adoration, and Praise, that is being bestowed upon you "here". All I can say is that every single darned bit of it is Well Deserved!!!
Not only did you take the "High Road", but in doing so stepped out on a very tenuous branch. You offered a very Personal part of You, even not, and not yet, knowing what the complete outcome might be, in order to TEACH a very Valuable lesson to others. And, not just to those in your class, but also, since posting here, to "countless" others in JUB Land, all around the world!
Have You made an Impression? Hell Yes!! And, for THAT I Thank You!! You should rightly be walking Very Tall, chin up, and chest out!
I would be very interested, as I'm sure Everyone else would also, to hear about your experiences over the next coming days, etc. There may be a little "whip lash", but, hopefully, not. I'm thinking that perhaps a statue on The Green might even be in order!
Of course ... no matter what ...
Keep smilin'!!

Just to be clear Killjoke, I don't condemn you for saying that. I meant what I said in plain language - I regret it.

Self-acceptance is a struggle in the face of social and historical hostility - but in my own life I knew I had achieved self-acceptance when I realized that gay was a good option. It may have been the random chance of biology that it turned out this way for me, but given the choice, gay was my option. Of my own free will! Gimme da cock!
Wow. Thanks, Everyone. I really appreciate your comments. My colleagues are supportive, and my immediate supervisor is too. It's not an exaggeration to say I work with some great people. I also know it's my personality that draws good people to me, and I know I carry the respect of many people (students and peers alike). I'm not being arrogant--it's actually more difficult to admit I'm well-loved and popular than it is that I'm gay. I exist well in the spotlight, but as one of my colleagues once told me, "I know you're more introverted than most people would ever suspect." The attention is always ON me, but not ABOUT me.
There may be some negative repercussions still to come some day, but as I told my best friend yesterday, "It's too late to care." I'd rather not lose anyone's respect, but if that happens, they were only respecting the person they thought I was, or they needed me to be.
bankside and saymyname, I completely understand where you're coming from, and I agree. I don't regret saying it, because it was the truth, and I can only speak from what is true for me. I do regret that for a big part of my life I've felt that way, and truth be told, I still feel that way. I wouldn't choose this still, so I've got a ways to go. But I do love myself like I never did growing up, and I do accept that this is my reality. I'm still working on embracing it.
And maybe yesterday was one step closer to that happening. I know today I walked with a spring in my step that I haven't really felt in quite a while, and tonight, driving home with the windows down, I didn't just feel the wind like I usually do.
I was part of it.
Thank you, my JUB brothers and sisters, for helping me realize not how big a lesson this was for my students, but how big a lesson it's becoming for me.
