Feeling better - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

I feel so much better lately even with tons of homework and headaches. This past summer I learned how to dance without caring what people think about me. I've always had a low self esteem so this is big for me. Anyway, today I made a step to coming out more.

Today I was eating dinner with the Gay-Straight Alliance at my school and a good friend asked if I was looking to be in a relationship with a girl. She was basically asking in front of everyone if I'm gay. She knows I'm gay but I have never acknowledged it in front of everyone when she was there.

I said "Yeah" and she clapped and said she was extremely proud of me for saying it out loud. She even said I could be considered her sister (weird story that would take a while to explain) because she was so proud.

I've become a lot more comfortable in the past year with my sexuality. I'm still not 100% comfortable and I hardly ever talk about it to anyone outside of the GSA but I am happy with my progress. I'm happy to have friends in the GSA.

I have never felt this comfortable in my own skin. I actually am starting to feel proud and I wanted to share this on here.

I'm gay and there's nothing wrong with that.
