Okay this may sound a little weird to you at firsts... but did you know that people only judge you as much as you judge yourself! If you create people in your life who judge you because you are gay, then you will get judged! On the otherhand sweety, if you choose to create people in your life who don't care about your sexual preference... Then you won't get judged!
My first observation in your post last night was that you are the one who is judging you, as of right now, because no-one else knows your preference. Well... at least that is what you think (that no-one knows people are much more perceptive than you would every know). Wow! There is a thought... some of the people you associate with and are afraid of telling them because they might judge you... already know! When I had an eating disorder similar to bulimia... I was afraid to tell anyone, but I really was not fooling anyone, but myself, and once I actually opened up to someone I found out that she was struggling against the same exact thing (except she threw up, instead of exercising for 8 to 10 hours after a binge on top of an already heavy routine workout). We tend to circle with like kinds, and I bet you will find that some of those around you are not all that different from you. Really in truly, I went to fashion design school, and can remember sitting in sidewalk cafes at lunchtime, and watching the all the hot men go by with a few of my gay men friends.
My point is... don't judge! Especially yourself! Once you come to terms with yourself and who you are... You will love who you are! And if you love who you are, then nobody cares who you are! But if you are not okay with who you are, then you will bring judgement down upon yourself! My feeling is that some of the issues you have with food are tied to the emotional issues you have with yourself and the judgement you cast on yourself! Judge nothing! Nothing is either bad or good... it just is!
Ahhhh Man! I hope this makes sense! Oh by the way, outside of San Francisco... I worked a year or two ago at a store where there were several women who were gay! They were very open with it (Well they did not flont it to the customers, but to the other employees it was well known) They were totally accepted there, because they accepted themselves. As a matter of fact I look forward to having one of them and her girlfriend come over to my new house when I get moved in to it. So accept yourself for who you are! It is a TRUST issue again! seems to be a theme here LOL
