I know what you're thinking. That was probably the worst way to possibly come out in the history of coming out. But surprisingly, it worked out, and it gave my mom plenty of time to process what I told her, since she was at work and I was at school. She was very loving and supportive. She forwarded to my dad, who was also very understanding, and my whole family accepted me. I then made the decision to change my facebook profile to say "interested in women," and to my surprise, nobody really reacted. Everything was still normal, and now I'm a happy lesbian. And now my sisters have stopped pressuring me to go out with guys. Now I'm trying to figure out my whole gender situation, but that's a different story...
Glad to hear it. And about the gender situation, just do a lot of reading. I did that to figure out who I am. Do some experimenting even.
Congrats! Glad to hear everyone's accepting. And don't feel bad about coming out via email. Coming out is an extremely awkward, life-changing experience, and you should do it in the way that makes you feel the most comfortable.
It's not the worst way at all. It's just like sending an instant letter really. I'm really pleased you have found everyone accepting and I hope it feels good. Well done!
That's a great way to come out! Glad everyone was so accepting, must be a great weight off your shoulders.
