The closet isn’t for you; it’s for the boogie man, and homosexuality does not make you that childhood monster. In a largely homophobic society, it is difficult for any gay individual to admit her/his sexual urges, which are perfectly natural.
The hardest thing about coming out of the closet is admitting to yourself, ignoring what others of limited liberalism might think of you, that you are gay, that you wish to engulf yourself within the body of another of your own sex—simply another manifestation of love. Be unafraid to embrace desire. It is simply you; there is no wrong in that.
The next step is to let your loved ones know. If you’re married, which is not uncommon, let your spouse know of your homosexuality. True, it is a task that will probably hurt him/her, but given time, she will understand, and you should as well. Your parents must know, too. They brought your body into this world and it is only fitting that they know what it wants. If you experience difficulty in this, do not waver; you know now that you are being honest to yourself and if someone condemns you, it is their own inadequacies.
The only way to love is through the body. We speak our passions with the raw sounds made by our voice boxes carved into words by our tongues and lips, gesture with our eyes, touch with our skins, express with our bodies. And thus, we have love between two beings, delighting in the body of the other, in wonder at the similarities and the differences. True erotic love, which we assume everyone is looking for, makes no distinction between the sexes of two lovers.
Quite succinctly, two beings, neither male nor female, are joined by a wanting for the other.
