    and a giant leap toward coming out.

    I posted this in my blog last night and I thought it might be appropriate for here also.

    It feels good not to feel that I have to hide this. After all that is what being open is all about. Now the next step of actually coming out to my parents. Unless things work out well this visit, I plan to wait unit April.

    I'm glad you've come to this point. I hope things go well for you, the only thing being is that it can still leave room for confusion. My family just assumed I was "unsure".
    Regardless, congrats. That was a big step. (*hug*)

    I have that same problem with parental controls and crap. I have to use safari and private browsing, and it makes me feel like i'm doing something wrong, even when i'm not.

    Well done on taking that step and leaving the possibility of them finding out open =]

    Over Christmas, I was looking at EC on their computer. It only dawned on me that I probably should have deleted the history after I left his house. He knows that I'm gay...but he's completely against it, so I don't think he would have appreciated the browsing.
