    Hey all, I've already posted in the support forum and have gotten some great responses.

    I've always liked girls, but as for guys, there have been a few that I've been attracted to since I was 9, and over the years that has been growing inside of me. I've been limited to private fantasies.

    Over a VERY short amount of time, I thought back about how long this had been going on for, and decided to accept it as part of who I am.

    Just tonight, I sat down with my mother and told her that I was romantically interested in males. I swear, I could have gotten more of a reaction if I had asked her the price of eggs. She displayed no shock whatsoever.

    Did the same with my brother, whom I am very close to. Was slightly more bumpy, but he accepts it.

    I also told an old friend of mine, a gay guy I hung out with at high school a few years back. He was dumbfounded.

    I think I'm lucky to have such a family!

    Haven't told my sister, not sure if I want to as she cannot keep her mouth shut. She'll be the last to know.

    So, that's where I am now in terms of my sexuality. I'll tell the people who need to know, and see where life takes me next!

    Congratulations! ^_^ That's great news :slight_smile: Hopefully life will get to take you to great places ^_^ And hopefully you'll be able to tell your sister soon (if you indeed want her to know).

    The funny thing is, when I came out....I never had to come out again. My sexuality spread like wildfire around my small town.

    Telling your sister last is a good idea, as i'm sure she will help you with any loose ends. Haha!
