    I voted very accepting.

    I found out that I was interested in other males when I was age nine.

    I took to it like a duck to water.

    I can honestly say that I never had personal self acceptance issues.

    It only becomes a problems when other people don't accept me.

    In the past I would have voted "somewhat accepting" but now I have voted "very accepting".

    I never really had any issues with my sexuality or gender when I first discovered it and I still don't. I can't really relate to anyone who does have self acceptance issues because I never really had that problem. (probably because of my tendency to question everything as well as the fact that I have lgbt friendly parents)

    It depends on which part you are talking about? Can't really vote a definite answer.

    Sexuality? Then it would be floating between 'Not At All' and 'Somewhat'. I pretty much tend to despise this area.

    Gender? Only then would you get anywhere, particularly a 'Very'. I really like this side of things and have next to no issues.

    Very accepting!

    Now, we just have to convince certain members of my family and all those homophobes out there...

    I said "somewhat" accepting, because I have been very accepting of my bisexuality, but not so accepting of my gender.

    I'm also not as out about my gender as I would like to be; I recognize that my being partially closeted about my gender is cowardly. :frowning2:

    ...pretty much the exact opposite of my situation, heh. :-l

    I wouldn't call you cowardly though; if anything, you seem (very) full of courage, sis.

    Somewhat accepting, I am still very new to coming out here. I want to be gay. Please understand, I had a very strict upbringing.

    Mostly. But I still have some frustrations with it, but most of them can go away if I'd come out completely.

    I'm accepting 100% don't think there is anything wrong with it, but I do let people's opinions get to me, and would've rather been born a couple decades later so I didn't have to feel like an outcast at times.

    I'd say I'm very accetpting of myself, but it took a LOOOONG time to get there...

    (*hug*):kiss:

    Oh honey, there is nothing cowardly about it... It's not easy and we all have to go about it at your own speed. I wouldn't even call you a coward if you never came out. (*hug*) You're awesome and you'll get there at your own pace! I'm rooting for you!

    I say mostly accepting. Working on slowly increasing that acceptance. Once I finally manage to meet some local Trans* people around here that will help immensely.

    It took a long time to get to the acceptance level I am at now.
