I finally came out to someone. I've been thinking of doing it for a while now but i didn't think i would actuall do it. I emailed my bestest friend and asked him his opinion on something that happened at school involving someone who is gay. he said he was okay with people who are gay and said he actually had two other friends who are bi ( learn something new everyday ) so then i told him and he said that he saw it coming and that he was completely okay with it and that he was happy that he was the first one I told. i narly jumed up in the air several times i was so happy. i couldn't believe i did it. well i thought i should share my story.
My parents kind of knew all along. I didn't have to tell them they just told me that it was my choice of who I wanted to date and that whatever my choce was that they were completely OK with it. The talk followed shortly afterwards, it was a weird feeling it was like disturbing and kind of uplifting all at the same time. This happend several years ago.
Congratulations.! I wish I could do the same thing. I am only now learning to accept who I really am.
I felt the exact same way when I told my parents straight out. My older sister who is also my flatmate already knew as when she asked me if I ever wished I had a boyfriend I said "no, but I wish I had a girlfriend" and she said she basically knew already. That gave me the courage to tell my parents even though I knew they would be ok with it. So I told them. And they also know I prefer the older ones. So my mum merely said "Just so long as she treats you right, the way you deserve to be. And doesn't hurt you in the long run. It doesn't matter how much older she is. Just so long as she isn't 80, or even 60 or dead." I simply chuckled. Then I told them that Helly (my sister who I live with, thats her nickname) already knows and that when I told her she saw it coming. Both my parents told me they didn't. Then I went back next door to my place then I felt quite disturbed as I had just told my parents my orientation yet I was extremely relieved because it meant I didn't have to beat around the bush (no pun intended, or is there?) But congrats. I keep looking around at times and thinking "well, uh, wow. I'M FREE, I don't need to be a chameleon and hide one part of my self depending on which family member or person I'm with when I'm around them.
