21/10/2004 Spurt: "ThatP 1998-2004 - RIP"
ThatP
The end of an era.
It’s time to draw the "live" part of the website to an end... It’s been an honour - it really has.
So thanks to all! I wish you all the very best.
Much love

Awesome story. You are a brave guy and a good writer too. I went through the same process as you-- but waited till I was 33 to do it. I am envious - in a good way (if that's possible) for your courage to deal with this when you were a teenager. I have written my story, like you, but unlike you I don't have the guts to publish it. A shame... isn't it?
Spurted by Bill H, @ 13/02/2006 09:11 PM GMT
what a great story...could be a movie. Its weird going through the same things that you did. Wasn't it weird to find that one of your best friends was gay, and then turning right around and telling him that you were too? what a relief that must of been for the both of you. as for me im not out yet, and im almost 23. Im kinda still in the dinial stage, even though i should be long passed that, but i came accross your story by accident, and im glad i did. youre a great writer, and this story really pulled out some emotions. please if you get this email me back. thanks, mike.

Great blog, very intersting thanks

I just came across this web site last night while surfing. And what a joy it was to read. It only goes to show no matter the age or where in the world you are our stories are pretty much the same. and hopefully they all turn out as well. I'm very lucky to have a wonderful partner for the last nearly 21 years. I came out late myself age 24. but it's not like i was really hiding. I live here in New Orleans and we have just been threw hurricane Katrina. what a disaster that was and continues to be so it was nice to read a lovely caring and sweet at times heart breaking story with a lovely ending... Thank you and i wish you a wonderful and loving long life with someone special as the life i have been lucky to have found.... gary

Spurted by john @ 11/12/2005 06:21 PM GMT
i have read your writtings and am impressed because i am going through th same thing you were going thruogh from whence you were thirteen. i can't tell anyone about my sexuality and my mother is suspecting that i may be gay.
my mother has said a lot of things that have made me think that she knows that i might be gay. yuo were lucky that you had a mother that could be very understanding. my sometimes calls me a faggot. she always brings it up to make me feel bad about myself.
where i come from.i.e swaziland being gay is practically unheard of. so going public about it is something that one does after long thought. i am 22 now but i have still not reached what you achieved when you were thirteen. i don't even have a boyfreind.

I don’t have many gay friends but I have a fantastic partner who I have been with for almost four years. I wish that someday I will have a friend as nice as you. It’s hard to find a nice guy that wants to be my friend these days and nothing more.

I was feeling depressed and just read your coming out story again for the fifth time to change my mood. I used to read the spurts and diary P before. You are inspirational! I am 39 years old and have always been amazed at how many things you have achieved at such a young age. If I accomplish half in my life what you have already accomplished in yours, then I will have had a full life.
Spurted by Colin @ 09/09/2005 11:57 AM GMT
hey, i read the stuff you wrote. very touching. i too, strongly feel that gays are totally made too big a deal of. its just a preference, you're still human. i wonder what is your age now. well i wish u well in your life, hope you have found and will lead a fulfilling one.

I found talking to you and your friends incredibly helpful whilst I was making my own journey. thank you.

Thankyou for putting together and sharing such a wonderful and interesting story.
You remind me very much of myself when I was going through the same things. Reading your story made me think back of my own memories. At the time they were hard but now they bring a smile to my face and sometimes a tear to my eye ~ but all in a positive light.
I don’t have many gay friends but I have a fantastic partner who I have been with for almost four years. I wish that someday I will have a friend as nice as you. It’s hard to find a nice guy that wants to be my friend these days and nothing more.
I wish you every success in all you take on.

Thanks for putting up such a sincere and real testimony to the act of coming out. I am 20 and I have recently come out to my parents and they are having a very hard time accepting that homosexuality is not a choice. They still love me but they are trying to make me fight my sexuality. They wont let me tell my 16 year old brother (he probably already knows). I am so thankful for all of my friends and teachers who hear that I am gay and respond "yes, and?". Thank you for your writing and honesty. Your story does ring true even over the seas in the American South!

First of all i just want to congratulate you in all you have done! I am also gay and just wanted to say i wish i had seen your page before coming out to all my friends and part family. I also had a bad experince coming out to freinds but my parents were fine about it and had suspitions. My best freind rachel helped me come to terms with being gay and since i have help a few people also come out. I have bookmarked your page and will read it every now and again as it shows real courage and reality. thank you.

Hi Paul,
It was strange coming onto your site and finding it at an end. I have grown up with your site, shared similar experiences to you. I have enjoyed reading it on and off over the past few years.
I do really wish you the absolute best for the future and wish you every success.

I just finished reading your coming out story. Very interesting. Its nice to know that the friends you picked out in your younger years are still your friends today and that your family accepted as well. You are a very good writer and I enjoyed reading everything. Good luck to your future.
Spurted by tom @ 29/11/2004 04:21 AM GMT
I am extremely proud of you. Proud of your courage, proud of the strength of your convictions, proud that you have helped so many people with your site, proud that you lived your life with such clarity, and for many other reasons I am proud to be your mother. Proud and so full of love for such a wonderful son. I sincerely hope that many other gay men will have the strength to come out as you did so that society can evolve and mature: there is still a lot that has to be done but I think that you have helped it progress and for that I am full of admiration for you.

Spurted by Patrick @ 12/11/2004 11:44 AM GMT
The reason for writing this letter is that we were deeply impressed by reading the site.
But first of all let me tell you something about us: We are a school class of about twenty girls aged between 18 an 24 years and are going to be educators in the next two years. In the future our job will be to work with children and young people.
Speaking about your coming-story and Spurts in a lesson we have found out that it must be really helpful for other gays to read it, too. We have a big respect of your opinion and we hope that many other people get more tolerant about this topic. Your words will show them how difficult it is not to be straight and talk about it, especially to parents. It maybe will help them not to be ashamed and getting more courage to show that their life is going on in a normal way. We think that it is very important not to hide personal feelings.
Unfortunalety we only could read a small part of your story and are really interested in how it goes on. We would be very pleased to read in a response from you what has happend since then and how your life has changed.
Best regards and take care! Nadine

Spurted by Ben @ 03/11/2004 11:19 PM GMT
Now then, it looks like all this heavy spurting of yours has planted some seeds :) DearestP, no feelings of sadness here about the winding up of your diary! Why do people feel sad, you are still alive and well? Saw you the other day and, judging by the way you inhaled eight portions of dim-sum, you were feeling rather well :) Such a shame though you are not religious. Some of your fan mail could go a long way towards the beautification of the first ever gay saint… Hmm, SaintlyP! You reckon the Church of England would allow such travesty? LOL!
On a serious note - I know you well enough to say that, whatever you do in your life, you do it with a lot of love and consideration for other people. Your RIP section and your fan mail are a real testimony to that. You couldn’t have achieved it without being so brave and honest and, above all, without BEING YOURSELF. I know that at times there was a price to be paid but I also know that, in return, you’ve earned love and admiration from an immense audience across the globe and became part of people’s lives (scary!!!) I can’t’ speak for others but I want to let you know how glad I am that our paths crossed...
Now it’s time for you to move on… Maybe (and just maybe) your courage will inspire some of your readership to fight their own fights and to find themselves and their own place under the sun? Who knows, only time will show…
I’d like to wish you good luck with your transformation, with Project + and with everything you do! All my love always! Keep in touch! ManlyB xxx
Spurted by ManlyB @ 03/11/2004 06:57 PM GMT

Just like everyone else, I'm so disheartened to know that you've decided to bring this website to an end. ThatP's been in my Favourites for more than a year now. Though I didn't visit this website very often, I hadn't missed any spurts of yours. It's been a wonderful experience to get to know a person like you out there. I'm really gonna miss you mate. Lotsa love.

Spurted by Kenji @ 31/10/2004 06:14 PM GMT
Thanks for the ThatP website. I'm 35, I know it's old to still be in the closet, but the people where I'm from tend to be more homophobic than normal, maybe it's the South Yorkshire attitude towards gay people I don't know, but for me my family is the biggest problem, I know they are homophobes and don't think they'll ever change, so websites like yours as well as other such groups of gay people plus the non-identity of the monitor are a god send for me. But back to your site, it has been truly a wonderful place mate. The pics, the diary, the forum, the spurts, the ChezP ... in fact every aspect of it made me some how drawn to it, it may sound daft, but I loved being around my own kind, it maked me feel at home even if it can't happen for me in real life, like it has for you, I just wanted to say thanks for producing something that all gay people, as well as myself, could get something from.
A still in the closet, Gray

‘Acte est Fabula’ -- It’s been a comedy, a tragedy, a mystery, a drama and a romance all in one. What a journey of self-discovery you’ve had! You opened up your life and shared it openly with a worldwide audience. Now that the curtain has come down you’re getting the round of applause and standing ovation you rightly deserve. Your diary has always been enjoyable to read and often an inspiration. Reading others comments it’s obvious you’ve touched many people’s lives for the better, well done P.
I met P in early 2000 after an exchange of emails and we’ve remained good friends ever since and I hope we will continue to be for many more years to come. You’re the best. Richie xXx

Spurted by Chris @ 23/10/2004 03:03 PM GMT
Dear P,
My name is Edward and I live in Arizona USA. I have been a fan of your site for a little more than 3 years now. I can remember crying into the night after first reading your "coming out" story. I did not cry because it made me sad, but because it made me realize what I must do. I was so tired of having to lie to my family and friends, I just couldn't live with that burden any longer. I came to your site confused and hating myself for what I was, and I left better knowing who I am, and on the way to loving myself. I came out to my friends about 3 weeks after I first visited your site. I still haven't come out to my family, but that is still a work in progress. I do not live at home any longer, which gives me the relief of knowing I can't get kicked out of the house, but I know it would be such a disappointment to my Mom and it would brake my Grandpa's heart. I have always been the "wonder-child" of the family, and it just seems like the members of my non-immediate family would finally have something to tear me down with.
Anyways... since first visiting your site, I often returned, especially because your url is so easy to remember! I am so happy that you continued to publish your diary online for so long. I often returned to it when I was feeling down and lonely. It has always helped cheer me up. It sounds strange, but it makes me feel better knowing that some cute gay guy named P on the other side of the globe has gone through the same things I have.
What I wanted to say is how I loved reading your diary when you wrote about life in England. I have England marked "next" on my world travels and I have often had the notion to pick up and move there permanently, or to Germany which I just adore. I am sorry, I have a problem with rambling. I just wanted to say THANK YOU P for such a wonderful site and all the time you dedicated to your readership. I also wanted to let you know that you have made a difference in the life of someone half-way around the globe and you are a wonderful person for that!
~Edward

Dear ThatP,
Let me open with telling you, that your posted coming out story was not only helpful and touching but inspiring. You have proven courage beyond any bound. Whom ever ends up being fortunate enough to call you their boyfriend, lover, or mate will be one extremely lucky man.
Your ability to write in an open, honest, and intriguing manner not only leads to capturing one's attention but does so in away that makes myself wonder how you are doing. As if you are a friend that I know think about and hope and wish you the very best. You have helped those around you, those that were not friends, those that you have seen yet not know, and those you have not seen and more then likely will never see (myself included.) Yet, you have helped in so many ways. Know this, you're a youngman with many great and awesome gifts. We the people of this third rock from the sun are fortunate to have the opportunity to count you among us.
At a very young age you have impacted so many and helped more then you can imagine. Some in simple ways, others in deeper more personal ways. To all your friends, and family I wish them the best, for they have one of the best among them.
As I am sure you must have much more important things to do, I will keep this short. But, thank you! Thank you very much!
Warmest regards, Rolland
Spurted by Rolland @ 23/10/2004 08:57 AM GMT
The end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Something goes and something comes. Creative destruction. I am happy for you that you dare to live and experience, do the things you feel for and then have the courage to let them go when the time has come to move on. May you keep this strength forever.
Love always Daniel

Hi my dear P,
I think reading your diary and your email have encouraged me to reply to an advert in the Gay Malta website (that you mentioned in the email). I have had a reply from a fantastic person who is 27 and who was not concerned that I am nearly 36.
We have been going out regularly now and it seems serious. I can not describe how I am feeling that I have my first boyfriend and he seems to really care about me (and I for him) and that we have so much in common that it seems wierd sometimes. We have become so close that we usually send text messages at the same time blocking each other at times. I have always dedicated my time and life to making others happy and at ease, now finally I am experiencing happiness which I never imagined. I really owe this to you my dear P, and I wish some day I can meet you to thnak you in person and give you a warm hug.
I wish you a happy future
Best personal regards
Joseph, xxx

P,
So sad to see the change. It had to come, eventually. Really don't know how you've kept up these last years. I think the lengthening delay between entries was telling. Truthfully I am hoping that you have at last become permanently "preoccupied". Anyway, I often marvel at your energies, P.
So, ...Thank you for all those times, you don't know of, when you've lifted my spirit in relating your life through your diary. Thank you, too, for allowing me the privilege to become part of your life in difficult and dark times. Caring words coming from a distant friend can make the passage through lonely times a little easier. I hope mine have soothed.
A sentence from the book "Gods and Monsters" has come to my mind... The gay elder retired director of the Frankenstein monster films assisted by the handsome young gardener in a moment of physical weakness asks, "Do you believe people sometimes enter our lives for a purpose?"
I do.
Love and Best Wishes to you,
David (Phoenix, Arizona)

SweetP, Are you going to turn your back on all your e-friends? I can understand you getting fed up with maintaining the website. It must be a hassle, especially as it sounds as if you are damned busy most of the time. Even so, it was a bit abrupt! Was there a special reason? I hope we shall not lose touch. I've enjoyed our occasional exchanges of messages. But anyway, bless you and Good Luck in everything you do. Love, Alex.

I've enjoyed your site a lot. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself. You're far braver than I am. I couldn't say some of the things you've told us - especially when things weren't going so well. You're clearly a very warm, friendly person and I wish you all the best for the future. Be happy.
