Really, I am not into reading much so I don't know about other great celebrities or personalities of this communities
But few guys in this site inspired me,

Valentine84: I started conversation with him.He was very straight, clear and knows what he wants.He respects people.To be frank almost 90% of our views are different.When anyone says controversial view about my opinion,I argue.When he put his view totally opposite to mine.It is justified.I totally agree to his point.He inspired me with his thought process and way of thinking.I wondered that there could be other way round like he is saying.We agreed to have virtual friendship.I just asked him for casual meet for specific purpose.He denied with proper reason.Since,I am student he told me that he would meet me after I get placed.His genuine nature inspired me.

Gayspark: only after reading his many comments I inspired by him.He is very open and Frank. Extrovert.Whatever, I say he takes it in sportive manner.But I can't be like that. I am bit sensible. I want to be like him to take everything in ease manner. Very friendly

Sasmathu: Very first one and only friend who shared his contact with me in this blog.I inspired by the way, he judge the people with chats.

Mahesh80: Even though at first tried to connect with him. He tried not to reveal his identity.I replied not to be in touch (very genuinely).His revert msg , I was impressed.I an inspired by his way of approach

Harshid: Just now pinged to give me compliments about my comment.For that reason, right now posting this comment again. The way he encouraged me, no words to say. Only I can feel. I inspired by him in this way.

This post may not be relevant.If it is so, I apologise to u all

Note : There may be some comments that I am flirting or buttering or proposing the above mentioned guys.I don't mind. They know about me and I know about them. Even though, I mentioned this to save ur time of typing this kind of comments

Well the topic is about Inspiring gay celebrity.. I wouldn't say inspiration but I have an aspiration after seeing two gay couples (one virtual) and one real.

Ennis & Jack twist - it s the lead pair screen name of Heath Ledger and jake gyllenhaal in the movie "Broke back mountain" I always envied I had such a relationship which endures.. In the last scene when he touches that shirt and thinks., it is touching every time I see the scene.. Time and now I often tell me bestie about this movie couple.

Wendall Rodericks& Jerome - He is one openly gay successful fashion designer from India. What inspires me is the support he gets from his partner. Though Wendall wasn't a fashion designer by profession initially it was his partner who encouraged him to pursue his passions., That emotional support which your partner offers is what which inspires me.

My role model will always be Ellen DeGeneres awesome woman and look at how much she has achieved in life despite coming out so early. Another role model will be Tim Cook the CEO of Apple. In the world of business being gay and yet climbing to the top position is so difficult because so many of them are waiting to pull you down. Yet Tim Cook publicly announced he is gay and how his sexuality is a personal choice and is irrelevant for the world. And ofcourse Karan Johar for coming out publicly in a intolerant country like India. While coming out is a personal choice and is bound to make life difficult I do think it takes a lot of guts for people to come out in open.

I admire many inspirational Lgbt personalities from around the world, both contemporary & historic; since life has never been so easy for them anywhere in the world.

Amongst the historical Lgbt figures I admire Socrates, Shakespeare, Leonardo da vinci, Abraham lincoln, Walt whitman, Marcel proust and a renowned 19th century mystic from East India, to name a few.

In Europe, in the recent past many Lgbt persons have become prime ministers of their respective countries:
Iceland's Sigurdardottir became the first out lesbian Prime minister to lead a nation in modern times.
The Prime minister of Luxembourg, xavier bettel; the PM of Ireland, Leo varadkar (he is a person of Indian origin); the Pm of Serbia Ana brnabic; all of them are openly gay.
In India too, in the past we have seen a few gay & lesbian chief ministers, ministers & even a head of state; but all of them were closeted. Still I admire them.

Noori Saleem, is a Transgender women from Tamil Nadu. When she was 24 she was diagnosed with Hiv positive, though she was shattered, she started an orphanage for children who were orphaned by the death of their Hiv infected parents. The orphanage has 100 children presently. She is 54 yrs old now & has received numerous awards from the government for her services. I once happened to meet her at the Delhi airport.
By empathising with the suffering of others she had overcome her own personal suffering. I admire her too.

@Mahesh- Yes there have been politicians who are closeted lesbian or gay.. Needless to say who was the lesbian chief minister you were mentioning. Even I am big fan of her. Given her traumatic childhood and those insecurities surrounding her she did fight against odds to become what' she was.. I remember the caption in a newspaper during her death "The iron butterfly has its last lap"..

About 'Noori Saleem' - Her story was indeed inspiring .. Fighting her own gender identity., her own disease .,she also fights for the benefit of HIV infected innocent children.. Thanks Mahesh for mentioning about her.. I did Google out and found the link and sharing it here..

@all

When we talk abt inspirations I would like to reflect my thought abt us in this forum....why are we here and why do we write these posts? In a way isn’t this forum in its full capacity inspiring us to write what ever we feel or felt WITHOUT HAVING THE FEAR OF BEING GUDGED?
Of all ppl shouldn’t we know the pain of others judging us too soon and defining what is right and what is maturity? But alas social stigma hurts only when applied on us (the individual).....this forum has inspired me to be me....to let my childish and matured thoughts to b heard....if iam happy iam happy, id iam sad or disappointed then iam sad/disappointed....this forum has not only inspired me but given me a platform to express my feelings without sugar quoting it....to laugh and cry as I please....forget not that every person has a child in him (only we shy to show it outside in the name of maturity) true maturity lies in accepting the child in u and embracing it....

So folks, let us JUDGE NOT and express our feeling in this wonderful forum that serves as an insperation to everyone who posts or just reads the posts....there is only one golden rule here....the arms length rule...

@ Raghu, i think your expression is spot on. I consider this forum as a platform to share my expressions without exaggeration straight from my heart and mind. I like to pen my thoughts good or bad, may sound silly or intelligent. either ways expressing our thoughts is the best way to open out our mind think out of box . I know this site is meant for ***,hook ups and exploring our hidden sexuality but everyone of your contribution now has made this post more sensible and day by day i am seeing more people are eagerly contributing their share of expressions. i think my mission is accomplished.

Raghu & Gayspark; thanks for the very valuable comments from both of you.

Yes, it is this possibility to express ourselves freely & anonymously about our hidden selves & about everything, without having the fear of being judged, that has made this forum very authentic & interesting. That is the reason why everybody here, including myself, is freely sharing many things which otherwise we wouldn't be sharing even with our close loved ones.

Though we may categorize some people as celebrities & draw inspiration from them, life is full of heroism every where. Nobody is greater or lesser or equal either; its just that each person is unique. Each of us have our own unique perception, style & experience, that we frankly share with others through these posts. From an objective perspective, this multitude of views & counterviews, have only enriched this forum immensely. Let us magnanimously celebrate our differences & celebrate the difference of opinions & styles of our folks as well.

I would say valentine84 and gayspark. I spoke to the former .. He is so nice and advised me a lot. He gave me so much of confidence in life. Respect him for that. I spoke only 15mns. Gayspark is a hero of this forum as we all know. He seems very sweet and cool. I have not texted nor spoken to him. Would love to though...
Both are my crushes too....

@Hellosweetshere - thanks. I am humbled but I do have my own insecurities. After reading your post on the massage thread I really feel sorry for you. That feeling of been treated like an used tissue makes me feel bad a lot of times and so I can understand what you have been through. Good that now you are on your own and out of all this.
