Hey!
Sorry if this has been done before but I was just wondering...

If you are 'out' do you remember the date you came out/first told someone you are not straight??

I came out April 4th 2009!
4/4/09

acorn7 · 18th Jul 2009, 02:23 PM

Thisisnew · 18th Jul 2009, 02:39 PM

3/30/09 I don't think I'll ever forget that date.

Tim · 18th Jul 2009, 02:40 PM

First Time? I just searched very painful emails to find it ._.

Coulda swore it was in 2003, but that was when I told her I was bi (yes, I did >_> Do not say anything.)

But the full date was Saturday, October 08, 2005 4:20 PM. (Gogo email) Was when I came out as gay :3

The time was completely chance. I do not do pot, and never will XD (No offense to those who do)

littledinosaurs · 18th Jul 2009, 02:48 PM

Between 16-25th of june in 2007.

RaeofLite · 18th Jul 2009, 02:49 PM

18th Jul 2009, 03:04 PM

**Gerry** · 18th Jul 2009, 03:17 PM

I'd say back in 2001 when I told my friends.

Adam · 18th Jul 2009, 03:20 PM

Told my first online friend on October 13th 2008, December 17th 2008 told my sister, told my first friend on April 26th or 28th...not exactly sure.
Yeah these were big events for me so I remember!

J Schuelke · 18th Jul 2009, 04:18 PM

Well, I think the date that I came out to myself was around April 18 2008, but I didn't come out officially to a friend wasn't until months later in June, unfortunately I don't remember the date.

Ontarioboy187 · 18th Jul 2009, 04:23 PM
