Wouldn't you know it? I've been on such a role lately with my sexuality, I went ahead and jumped the gun. I changed my profile to say "... is gay", then I set my profile to public. After that I went though MySpace and added every single family member I could find as a friend. Now to see what happens :S
Wow, that is a very strong and....bold (for lack of a better word) way to go about this, congratulations!
Go you! This is how I came out to the majority. Worked very well as people get over the initial shock before seeing you. Good luck!
*Gulp*, just got a message from my aunt! Her Message: Hey Jimmy, how are you doing? I hope your mom is feeling better. Talk to you later. My Message: I'm doing good, just been busy lately. I've been doing school projects, apparently all my classes decided to have 2-week long projects at the same time :S I'm looking forward to the dance at my school soon, I'm just hoping my boyfriend is willing to go. Tell Brandon and Chelsea I said "Hi!" Her Message: What do you mean by "boyfriend"? My Message: Webster defines it as a male friend in a romantic relationship. I hope this goes well :S
Okay, my Aunt was the one I was expecting to be the most accepting or okay of it, but her response devastated me!
Ouch! Sending you a hug because I have been there myself. I take solace in the fact for every one person who was unaccepting there were 5 more who loved me no matter what.
Sorry your aunt reacted that way. I like how you are just being open. Sometimes you just have to damn the torpedos.
