I wanna thank everyone on EC for participating in this community because the simple act of reading posts and threads have helped me accepting myself and gave me the courage to get on with my coming out process. So here's the story: A couple days ago (on the 27th to be precise), I was chatting on Facebook with my cousin who is the same age as me. We were discussing stuff and then the conversation went on about my mom finding weed in my room (I know, I know... Please don't judge me, it's only a bit of pot...). I was saying how some people including my parents sometimes think that me and most of my friends (when I say most, I really mean most) are drug addicts and/or useless stoners just because of a bit of weed and then I went on saying how you couldn't please everybody in life. I had wanted to tell him for a while (and I kinda had an idea on how he would react) and this is pretty much how the conversation went: Me: for example I'm gonna try to tell something to my parents this summer and they might not be thrilled about it... Him: what is it? And then I just said it: I'm not attracted to girls Him: it's ok, it's something that happens and there is no problem with that. And I don't think your parents will have any problems with that. I was so happy to tell him and he took it very well. He also told me he has a gay friend and that this friend's parents have no problem with it :icon_bigg So that's it. I was so happy and this coming out was important to me because he is the first family member I tell (!)
That's really great to hear. I'll keep my fingers crossed for many more positive coming outs for you.
That's great! Congratulations on this huge step towards, being out of the closet. Well anyways good luck and I hope that you are, at some point in the near future(soon) you are able to come out completely because once you do you feel a huge lift off your shoulders! But try not to rush it take all the time you need. Well once again congrats!
