This has seriously been one of the best weeks of my life! The LGBT center at my school had a Welcome Week, and I met a bunch of really cool people and saw a very hilarious movie! On a slightly different note, I think one of the guys I met is interested in me. :icon_redf Anyway, I was also given information about a LGBT workshop being given in a nearby city, and if I got the right impression from the guy who gave me the information, I could apply to talk about the investigation I did into being LGBT and Christian- very cool! (!) So to anyone who has just come out/is contemplating coming out/is in the closet: it gets better. I came out in late March, almost 6 months ago, and while my summer was 'interesting,' and by that I meant it was basically a parabola (nerd alert), the fall has, so far, been absolutely amazing. So (*hug*) to everyone who is waiting for it to get better, and know that it will, sooner than you think.
That's great to hear things are going so well for you! And as you said, it does get better. Hope you have fun in your new group.
So glad you hear things are going to well for you. I honestly hold my hands down to you. Well done, and good luck!!! =D
Awesome! Not too much commentary I can give here, but good luck with the group and with the workshop! Rock on!
Woot, I'm happy for you!!! That's awesome, and is exactly why more gay youth should suck it up and join the GSA. Yes, people will probably assume you're gay. You'll effectively be out of the closet at school. But who cares? You'll meet your people!
I'm glad you've had such a good experience so far and joining the group. It made me think how much easier it would be to meet a potential date there since most of the guys are gay. You won't have that annoying "is he gay or not" uncertainty like we do out in the rest of the world. You also won't have the awkwardness of women showing interest in you and feeling bad turning them down. Enjoy your time with the group and best wishes in your studies
Update update UPDATE! Things just got even better! So the guy I met, whose name is Ben, accepted my friend request on Facebook. What's more, we're having lunch tomorrow. Woo-hoo!!!!! (!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)
That was the summer that was a parabola. I don't know what function my school year is going to be yet . I'm really really excited, especially because I just suggested we hang out and he wants to have lunch.
Yet another update for the people I haven't talked about this to in the chatroom: Our lunch plans fell through because of scheduling conflicts, but we met up at a LGBT cupcake event last night. It was about 2 hours long, and not only were we next to each other for the vast majority of those 2 hours, but we also talked 'alone' for a good portion of it. Then afterward, I suggested we hang out later in the week/over the weekend and Ben said to email him when I'd be available (he checks his email more than facebook or texts.). So I'm super super excited! The feeling of just uncontrollable happiness I had on Monday hasn't gone away at all, and I've never felt this way before about anyone or anything.
non-EC Ben and I just rescheduled lunch for next Tuesday. Even if we just have lunch at school, I don't care because it'll be with him.
Can't beat the giddy feeling you get when you start talking to someone you like. Glad to see you happy and keep things in perspective!
