    A little about me, I realized I was gay when I was 14, but didn't feel safe coming out. I've only started coming out for real this year (my best friend was the only one who knew before) because my grandparents are getting older and I want to be out to them before they die, morbid as that sounds. My profile pic is Melssia Etheridge because she is my hero. Her music may have literally saved my life at times. I'm hoping to come out to my therapist tomorrow and I've started online dating in hopes of finding a GF. Looking forward to meeting you all :slight_smile:

    Hey, welcome!

    I don't really have any great advice on how you might come out to your grandparents (I think if I came out to my grandpa I'd give him a heart attack, so I don't) but regardless I hope you enjoy your stay and find the help you need.

    Welcome! I don't really have any advice on coming out to anyone, much less grandparents as I'm not out to mine, but realistically they'd probably have a heart attack. So I probably shouldn't.

    Margaret,
    Melissa Ethridge has been so helpful in putting words and understanding to emotions and feelings I have been able to pin point.
    Loooove her!
