    A few weeks ago, i asked for advice regarding friends knowing before family, and after reading through all your amazing advice i decided to give it a go.

    As it happens my friends - who have clearly suspected for the last few months- have been asking me to go to a gay club with them, anyway since i knew i wouldn't be able to say "im gay" out right or sober i went with them, it was a lot of fun dancing and drinking with them and at the end of the night i told them. As they were all gay/bi they accepted it and have been so supportive the last few weeks.

    It's so nice to finally have people i can discuss things openly with, with whom i can just be myself around.

    I want to thank all of you over here at ec, because i truly believe with out this website i would not have been able to gain the courage or acceptance i needed from myself to take this first step.

    My parents still don't know, and i don't enjoy lying to them when i go out but i guess for now it'll have to be that way.

    Thanks to everyone again :slight_smile: (&&&)(&&&)(&&&)(&&&)(&&&)(&&&)(&&&)(&&&)(&&&)
