    Well I had to come out to my parents. I was nowhere near ready to do it and it sucked. It still sucks. They confronted me about it, asking why I was so interested in the GSA at the college I'm going to. I later found out that my dad read my LHU email and found a response to me asking about their GSA. I knew he had the password, I just didn't think he would be reading emails that clearly had no due dates in them. That annoys me. The whole thing went okay I guess. I'm not gonna say it was better than I expected, it was definitely different. I had planned to wait until after my first year in college, at least. I have been advised to do so and I was covering all my tracks. They asked me yesterday and I couldn't lie. They said they didn't really care either way but my mom said she hoped I would turn out to be straight just because she doesn't want my life to be any harder and my dad said he thinks it's because I haven't found the right guy yet (cue eye roll). I'm more upset because he read my email and I had to tell them before I was ready. I couldn't talk to my mentor about it today and I almost cried when he said he wouldn't be available (he said tomorrow, though so there's that). I went to my next class, where we had a sub and were doing nothing, so I just went to guidance and talked to the counselor about it. I cried in the bathroom for a little bit beforehand though. After talking to her, I felt a bit better, but I'd still like to talk to my mentor about it. I also need a good hug and he gives good hugs. This just sucks.:tears:

    I'm sorry you never got the chance to tell your parents in your own way, at a time when you were ready. I hope you are alright, and if you need to chat feel free to post on my wall. (&&&)
