    So yesterday I came out to my mom and I feel better! I just can't get over how accepting she was:

    "it doesn't matter what your sexual preferance is, as long as you are a good person and carry yourself with respect and honour."

    this afternoon I switched my facebook from "blank" to "interested in men"

    I wonder how this will fan out.
    Just thought I'd share :slight_smile:

    Awesome job btw. Glad she was accepting and I hope your facebook friends are as well.

    Same boat here, James. Though if I put it in my status, work people would know. I have the info bit blocked from work people. Professionally, I like them in the dark. The fun game is wondering "have the cousins noticed?"

    Nicely done rocking23.(!)

    That is so great!!!! To me, coming out on facebook would be a really scary thing because that really means that EVERYONE will know.

    Sticking that on my facebook = instant death!

    I would love to so badly, but growing up in a christian high school i know 90% of the people from it would never understand, hell i dont even fully understand yet. I have my good days and bad days.

    But good on you! Its people like you that give me hope one day i can just shout it out at the top of my lungs, standing on my rainbow soap box!
