Default Came out for the first time!

I came out to my best friend earlier this week! This was the first time I've come out to anyone and I feel great about it! She is a lesbian, so she was incredibly understanding and supportive. I just wanted to share this news with all of you!

Congratulations! The first one is always the hardest but the biggest relief, Hopefully it will get easier from there on.

That's great to hear! Congrats on coming out for the first time. The first one is usually one of the hardest times so great job.
