    I came out as questioning to my first person today and she was so supportive and even offered to go to gay bars with me. I did not plan this at all but i'm so proud of myself for working up the courage to share my struggles even if my emotions are all over the place right now.

    I'm so glad i found this forum and even though i'm not a very active member i always read peoples stories ect on here which has helped me be honest with myself and accept that my attraction to women is nothing to be ashamed of. Thank you.

    I love when people come out as questioning...why more people don't do this is beyond me. Coming out to me is about full honesty, and my friends all know about my questioning although I think I'm gay.

    Congratulations on doing it! You should be very proud of your courage
