Dear Otto,

Whatever happens next, I hope it comforts you to know that we are all here to walk down this road with you. And that you'll never ever be left to face any repercussions all alone!

Thanks, for being the voice that many of us could only hope to have.

Otto,

Your words really touched my heart...Tears flowing down from my eye, courage makes me stand up and walk straight ahead as what i am today....

Though i really dun know you well only met during the movie outing. But after reading your post which makes me think that i am really really proud to have a friend like you...

What Otto did was very brave and selfless. Although the letter has been taken off his blog it is being replicated at various internet sites and I believe will continue to help provide assurance and encouragement to gay youths. I’m sure Otto and his loved ones will weather this storm and come out (no pun intended) stronger and closer.

At the same time let us also not forget to appreciate those friends from PLU, Fridae, Adlus, and other individuals, whose courage and perseverance have continue to help push for gay acceptance here

Hi Otto!

Some day, I too hope that I can muster enough courage as you did, and come out of the iron-cast closet I've built for myself all these years. You have my utmost admiration and sincere wishes that everything will go well for you from here on.

Jason aka BH.

Dear Otto,You have my respect and admiration.

Hey Otto,
I first got to know you through your comic works and that was about 2 years ago.

I guess one have to be pretty dedicated to one's profession in order for them to even express it in their leisure work or passion. In your case, the comics.

I hope that all go well at the end of the day, for someone who cares so much to risk it all, it is surely not something everyone can achieve.

So God bless and may your days be fruitful. =)

saltwetfish: after your comment, i panicked and went to check the meaning of "tribute" in the dictionary!
no la, a tribute can be to a living person too, it just means a testomonial, a compliment or something done of out gratitude or esteem :)

Otto is like my oldest friend in the world. We've known each other since sec 3 in chinese high. He was the sheena-easton-loving geek and i'm the boy-george-loving weirdo but we clicked.

Throughout all these years, I have always been the out and loud one. He would freak out if i said the word "gay" too loud. When we were eating in food court, where there were students of his around, we were asked to behave ourselves. Well, at least, i was asked to :p

So when he showed me the letter on Saturday, i was really shocked but am very proud. Knowing him, this is a very big step for him. I didn't stop him cos i know he must have thought through it carefully before doing so. I can only be proud to call him a close friend and stand by him.

I have talked to him last night, things were a little rough in school and plus I don't think he was expecting the media getting involved. After all, it was just a heart felt letter to his close friends, and colleagues. But he'll be fine. I think he needs your support.

So drop some words of encouragement, he'll appreciate it. :)

I read, and I was moved.

Moved by the words and commitment underlying, and inspired by the immense courage to speak out.

It takes a big human being to have done what you did and risked the very passion that made you write in the first place.

No matter what happens, you have taught and inspired. You taught me that we have a choice. Choice to either remain as a bonsai, or to grow beyond and fulfil our fullest.

Your words have reaffirmed my beliefs.

I salute you.
