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

Daisy1 · 16th Dec 2011, 04:27 AM

A quick history: I've been on EC since the summer, when I was it total distress over realizing I'm gay while being in a relationship with my long-term boyfriend/best friend. A month ago, I came out to him, and the feeling of losing him was devastating as well.

Fast forward: In the last month, I've come out to 6 people, met three women, gone out with two of them, and had a wonderful makeout session with one of them yesterday afternoon

I'm getting involved in our campus LGBT group and meeting members of the community. I'll come out to at least four more close friends by the end of the year, and I'm working up the courage to tell my sister as well.

Thank you to everyone who helped, especially Kiersten, SilverHalo, StillLovelyAfte, and Rooni.
