    Hi, welcome to the forum. Well, if you feel comfortable telling people, then why not? I recommend to do that calmly and I guess it's better to tell people you really care.

    i'm really happy your mom reacted good with this!

    The first step is always the scariest! My gf and I just came out to our family (by accident) and our friends know now too... some of that 'wait what?!" too but so far it's going well. Holding it inside can drive you crazy....

    well, i guess if you dont fit the media stereotype "gay" then mo one sees it .its nive to hear that your experience, unplanned and scary as it may have started, is goimg well for you.

    i agree, it was worse holding it in and in denial than letting the truth out.

    id rather have done this in highschool, not after 30. :/
