    When I first made a Facebook, I was in my denial phase and put "Interested in: Women". Once I started to accept myself a little bit, I took women off and replaced it with nothing. A few minutes ago, I changed it to "Interested in: Men"! I hid it from family members, but I still consider this a huge step! I also realize that this means there is no turning back, because now anyone (aside from family) who looks can know. How exciting!


    Edit: Whoops, I could have sworn I clicked on "Coming Out Stories", but I guess not. Sorry, mods!

    Yeah it definitely is a huge step, congrats :slight_smile: I'm considering doing the same, but I can't find the courage, at least not yet.

    Oh congratulations!

    I was actually doing some complaining tonight about the fact that Facebook only has the male and female binary to select from. I'd come out more, I guess, if there were other options.

    But hey..that's absolutely great to hear. First step. Baby steps. <3

    Congrats!

    I'm still not brave enough to put interested in both men and women despite the fact that a majority of my facebook friends know I'm bisexual.

    I'm really proud of you. On my page I have Men and Women but only select friends can see it. I just hope that one day I'll have the courage to let everyone see it.
