    You are a lesbian and there is nothing wrong with that. If other people are having a debate over you, that is their problem. You should be able to live life honestly, as you were meant to. If someone else is upset with your sexuality for some reason, that is a reflection on them, not you.

    As for whether you should have done it, if you wanted to come out, then that is what you should have done, regardless of how others would react. Having said that, I don’t think it is productive to worry about what you have already done. You certainly cannot turn back time and undo it. Instead, find a way to enjoy today. Don’t agonize over that which is out of your control.

    What's done is done. You can't take it back even if we all agreed that you should.

    So feel good with the fact that you've come out and that it's behind you. Congrats.

    You shouldn't regret anything - anything you did, you did because you wanted to do it! I'm sure you would've weighed up the pros and cons beforehand.

    If people want to fight & debate, that's their problem - you should feel happy and proud! I'm very happy for you =)

    I came out on facebook too.. but there wasn't an announcement, I just list my interest in women. I was just really tired of avoiding my sexuality which is usually what I did for the last couple years.
