the coming out steps

So never saw them before on here and this is how spot on it is. Eevery step that I read is exactly what I went through, which is awesome because I have an idea of what to expect next. When I was reading them I was just like damn they're good

I must confess... I had to search where they were stashed away again before finding them.

For the record, though: don't expect them to all happen in that fixed order. Some people skip a few or do them in different orders. I know people who told their family before telling other friends. Personally I never had any kind of sexual exploration phase and only really got to the pride part after telling most of the people I knew.

Still, knowing there's balance at the end isn't too bad

I like the order. Before reading it i wanted to get into a relationship then tell my family, because i think a partner will offer support and help. And before any step i think acceptence is a must, i think i'm on step 3 or 4. All i need now is a Boyfriend :P Lol

Well seeing as how I was in the closet when I begun my relationship, things certainly haven't gone in that order for me.
