    Thank you 30 seconds to mars, your song came on my musak at the right time. The right lyrics came out at the right time, and I was able to tell my best friend.

    The result? Me having an what I can assume is an anxiety attack (not a doctor :dry:slight_smile:
    and him having to tell me more than once that he is ok with it. Hes got my back and would never judge me or anyone else based solely on sexual orientation.

    Two more close friends down, went much differently, but still good. Came out to a very good buddy and his fiance (both of which I am good friends with). They didn't believe me at first, like...I had to say it five or six times for it to sink in...She reacted first, and exactly as I thought she would...I was actually really worried about me buddy and finally he just shrugged and was like "alright".

    Was my turn to need to hear it a few times, asked him if he was ok and he responded "I am just surprised I had no fucking clue, you have been my friend for so long"

    *All the dancing bananas!*

    In honor of today, I have now doubled the amount of people that know, from 3 to 6 (already 2 of those 3 from today actually did think I was). Woot!

    Hope you are feeling better with every person you tell. The weight lifts more each time you tell someone, I found.

    Agreeing with that so far, but I have the ever impending "what to tell my family" still in the back of my head
