    I just came out to my friend!!!! It was my first time telling anyone and I was SOOO nervous I could barely get the words out, but it went really well!! She said she is really glad I told her and she is happy that I chose her to confide in and that I can talk to her anytime, and she was really supportive and was really encouraging and it was amazing!! YAY! :icon_bigg I am so happy!!! :eusa_danc

    Yeah it is an amazing feeling. It gets addictive :grin:.

    Congratulations and hope you find that the rest of your "coming out" stories are just as positive.

    I saw on the LGBT Later...that you have now come out to hubby. Dang, so brave. I'm impressed and humbled. I'm still in the closet. She knows my leanings but we're stumbling along in our marriage.

    Congrats!!! I know how great it feels to come out to that first friend because you need to know they support you in order to continue to come out to others? So congrats again and best of luck!

    Thanks so much everyone! Yes, it is an amazing feeling! And as hard as it was to say, having the secret and worrying about coming out was a lot worse than actually doing it. Chicagoblue, I think you have me mixed up with someone else--I am not married! I hope whoever it is sees your message though! Yeah Jose, exactly! I thought she would be fine with it but of course I couldn't really be sure, but she was totally amazing! Honestly, I think she reacted better than I would have if a friend came out to me! hahaha She knew exactly what to say! It was really awesome.

    Wow, I just saw all these responses! Thank you so much everybody!!!! It is so nice to have someone to share these moments with and feel the support and encouragement from everyone! (&&&)

    As an update, I also went to my first-ever lesbian event last weekend! I was surprised at how calm I was feeling on the way there and walking into the building, but once I got to the room and saw everyone I did start to feel really nervous! However, the hostess made sure to make everyone feel welcome, so I stopped feeling as awkward after a little while. Anyway, that was a big moment also! I hope to go back again to the next one in a few weeks. :icon_bigg
