Right so here's my little backstory. I'm 15 and I've known I was different for years, only until around 3 years ago did I realise I could be gay. I didn't believe it and I never admitted it to myself until a year ago. Today I finally built up the courage to tell my closest friend that I am gay. He took it well, his brother is gay so he has experience on the matter. He's straight as far as I know and he had a few questions, but he has been extremely supportive. It feels good to know someone else knows and to open up to someone, I'm glad I did it :icon_bigg
Congrats Once you tell one person, it gets kinda addictive because it feels so good. I told my closest friend, then 2 other people in a matter of weeks.
O___O You started questioning at 12????? And you just came out at 15???? Geezus... At the risk of sounding like an idiot, how did you know you were gay (or were questioning) at 12?????! I know, I know... You realized you liked girls. Nuh... I'm just always amazed at people who come out so early. You're amazing, dudette. You're on the right track... You're making us all proud.

It's almost addictive. For me (just a couple of times) it got to the point that I'd be just meeting someone for the first time and I'd be "I'm a lesbian" out of the blue... lol I prefer to wait a little bit before telling them... in order to challange some estereotypes and them, knowing me first. But, with people who are true Straight Allies, well... I don't mind. ---------- Post added 10th Dec 2012 at 08:38 PM ---------- Oh... And the "hell, yeah!! I'm gayer than a rainbow" feeling comes along. XD
Congratulations! I have only just begun the coming out process myself. So far it has been exhilarating and well as a bit scary. It is liberating to finally declare to the world who you really are.
Congratulations on your first coming out. :eusa_clap It's really nice to find someone you can confine in and have such a good response (*hug*)
Eff... I apologize, dude. (-_-") Geezus... I need to pay more attention to the information under the avatar. And, yeah... You have balls of steel. =P
Congrats, man! It does get pretty addictive after awhile, since it's so exciting to finally say it. I wish you all the luck as you come out to more people.
Congrats!!! The first one is the hardest. I have come out twice in my life, the second time was much easier. Good luck and don't let the one that does not go well get you down. Be proud of who you are.
Congrats - it gets easier, in my experience. Theres nothing better than realising that you can finally just be yourself, without having to constantly censor your words and actions
