| EC's Hopeless Romantic Full Member ![]() Gender: Female Orientation: gay, str8, bi Out Status: Out to everyone Location: San Francisco, California <3 Age: 17 Posts: 1,321 Join Date: Oct 2011 | I came out to one of my friends and it was a great experience. It went like this; "Yeah she's my girlfriend" "Wait- are you bi?" "No I'm gay! Haha" "You're a lesbian?" "Yes??" "Oh I'm sorry Lena, we can't be friends anymore" "...(:" "...I'm just kidding, love you! *hugs" Sha-weet! I've never gotten a hug from him. It was great (: And I almost came out to my mom today...again. I told her about the YES conference this weekend and she was like "are you gay?". And I said "no" -_- Then we started talking more about gay stuff and she says she's totally fine if I'm gay and she's just worried about what other people would think especially since I might be moving to Montana but I told her I already thought about that. Then she wondered why I was thinking about all these things..nothing lol Am I totally lame for saying no? ![]() ![]() ---------- Post added 8th Dec 2011 at 06:51 PM ---------- And I introduced my gf to my best friend..kind of. I just stood there while they introduced themselves heh. Oh well, they met haha

| KierstenChromium, Mistress Of Metal Full Member ![]() Gender: Transgender - MtF Orientation: Lesbian Out Status: Out to 127 people & my parents & 1 cousin so far Location: Sarnia, ON Posts: 1,331 Join Date: Jun 2011 | First of all, congrats!!! Im glad everything went so well! As for your mom, ts totally not lame that you didnt tell her. She's your mom, so you care about her & you may be a bit concerned that her idea of who you are may change (which it sounds from what you've said like it won't, in fact it sounds a bit like she may already know), so wanting to pick the time that's best for you to come out to her is probably what you just need to do. These things can't be forced, that's all! ![]()

(: I think you're right, its just going to feel so different when I come out. I might feel normal for once and that kind of scares me for whatever reason...but I'll come out soon, I think she does know so it won't be that hard <3 ---------- Post added 8th Dec 2011 at 09:15 PM ---------- Quote:
Aw man, well I'm sure they'll love him when they do meet him (:
