    Sooo... I came out to a girl at work who is gay. Then I came out to my brother via online...and now I just came out to my best friend/ex aunt/my daughters godmother.

    Her response... "I'm not very surprised."
    So needless to say it went very well.

    Now to come out to my dad...which I hope is soon.
    And then the hardest... my boyfriend. That is going to be rough.

    Congrats, sugarskull! That's great :grin: . Good luck with your dad. And I hope it goes ok with your boyfriend, I can imagine that will be a very difficult conversation.

    Well done! Good luck for the rest (especially the boyfriend... I doubt that will be a fun conversation!)

    Its kinda like all or nothing. Once I said it out loud it just starting becoming more and more real. And at this point... it needs to happen, its gonna happen, better just do it now then later. Im pretty sure my dad is going to be cool with it. Basically he will (hopefully) just be like, whatever makes you happy. Hes my best friend so fingers crossed.

    The boyfriend, hmp. He knows something is wrong, and that we are probably breaking up soon, but I don't think he will be understanding right away of why. its hard because we have a 3 year old. But the younger she is, the better she will be to understand it later right?

    I think we're in Narnia. Not too sure.
    I haven't come out of the closet, so I hope this is right. It's probably better to know what your Dad feels about the LGBT community, does he hate them? Supports them? If he's homophobic, he's probably going to be stressful about it, but love you nonetheless (it can get crazy though). I don't know how to help you with the boyfriend problem, anything can happen. I'm sure there are other forums that can help you. Stay safe! =)
