Well,pretty much everyone but my parents know. My sister and brother know,but they dont really seem to care. All my friends found out by my myspace. For a while my orientation on there said "Not Sure". But,i was actually very sure. Finally i just put lesbian,because thats what i am. Most of my friends didnt even act like they knew. And some were just like "Are you seriously a lesbian?" But,all of my friends still love me. [ = I meen,some random kids at school wouldnt like the fact that im a lesbian but i didnt really care.I dont let stuff like that phaze me. In middle school me and my best friend Vernon were known as the gay kids. It was kind of exciting when people would come up to us and say "arent you the gay kids?" I laughed and proudly said "Yup". Im just trying to come out to my parents. Thats what i really need to do. Like sometimes ill be like "mom,if Micheal was gay would you still love him?" [Micheal is my brother] She'd always say yes,then look at me as if waiting for me to say "Well im gay,do you still love me?" But i never said. Ill come out one day. Probably,when im 25 and im finally getting married to Natasha. [= [Natasha is my girlfriend.]
That's really sweet =] It's really encouraging to read other people's positive experiences. Thanks for sharing MissxAli - and welcome to empty closets!
Good luck with coming out to ur parents and congrats on putting lesbian on ur myspace...im sure your parents will be fine with it and it sounds like ur comfortable and confident iin urself so good on u...plus, welcome to EC
Mmm yeah I've set my orientation on Myspace to "no answer" so it just doesn't appear. It's not lying, it's just not telling the entire truth But yeah, it sounds like your mum is very supportive and that is a very important thing, and it's really good to read about people in positive situations every once in a while, so thank you, and good luck!
Welcome to EC, and congrats on coming out to your friends. For your brother's benefit, you might want to stop asking if your mom will still love your brother if he was gay! He might wonder why he's getting odd looks from your mom!
Welcome MissxAli! Sounds like your mom will be just fine with it so I hope you can tell her BEFORE you are 25 and getting married.
heh. yeah. i agree with becky. but im happy for you! i hope i can do that soon. good luck and best wishes.
Welcome to EC:smilewave Way to Go on having the courage to come out to your friends and siblings, it is very encouraging that some day "coming out" won't be necessary. I do hope you enjoy your stay here, for we are a very diverse and friendly buch of misfits...LOL:roflmao: (&&&) :icon_bigg ____________________________________________ DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR FAITH CELINE DION
Welcome to EC! I'm glad that you decided to share your story. trust me, while I fully believe you should wait until you are ready to come out to someone, waiting for several years to tell your parents because you are terrified of their reaction will start to cause you a lot of pain and way too much worrying. That is exactly what I did, I waited until I was to the point of wanting to die just so I wouldn't have to tell them. It sounds like your mom might already suspect though and her reaction to your question seems positive. Good luck whenever you do decide you are ready, I'm sure it will be fine. And congrats on telling the people you have told and again welcome to EC!
Welcome to EC! Congrats on coming out to everyone. I love reading stories like that! I'm sure your parents will be accepting like everyone else. You should have nothing to worry about. Just take the leap and everything will work out.
