    Aloha everyone! New here... but I just have to share my excitement or I think I might 'asplode'.

    Yesterday I finally got the courage to come out to one of my closest female friends.
    It was through text messages, but I did it! I basically told her that I had something really important to tell her the next time I saw her... and she coaxed it out of my anyway.
    She outright asked if I was going to tell her I was "gay or something", to which I answered no, that I was just afraid of what her reaction would be. And then she started to get worried, so I said "Remember when I told you I wasn't gay? Well... that's only half true". She said that that was "totally cool" and wondered why I would be afraid of her reaction. And then she told me "dude... i still love you to death!"... which almost made me cry because I've been so afraid to tell anyone. :icon_bigg

    So anyway... the second person just so happens to be one of my ex-girlfriends, who is still one of my closest friends.
    I just came right out and told her "I'm bi". She was SO happy for me, and felt honored that I would tell her that, knowing that I was still in the VERY beginning of a very long "coming out" process.

    So yeah... might not be that cool, or important, or whatever... but I think it deserves some bananas!!!

    It was one of the most difficult things I've ever done; especially given who I was talking to, actually saying the words "I'm Bi" out loud to someone. Afterwards, I felt great!

    Congrats! It really is quite liberating to tell people the truth that we've kept to ourselves for so long! Good job.
