Hello Homo sapiens! Former aromantic asexual here. Finally realized I am actually gay four days ago, and have been telling people one-by-one. My mom is fine with it, but doesn't want me to tell my extended large/Catholic/sports-loving/Mexican family. So, now I have to be careful who to inform because of the way people use Facebook (Argh! Why does it still have to exist?!?). I don't want to go out with anyone before I move to a different state later this year! So, nobody will need to know about my orientation until I'm with somebody. I didn't care about relationships until recently; hence, my former aro/ace status. I thought I liked girls too, but realized it was only cultural conditioning by the heteronormative hegemony! As my name suggests, I want nothing more than to be with a bear. I have rather conservative views on relationships, so I hope to eventually end up with a cub to grow old with. I'm not really into having online friendships, so I'm really only here to expand my mind on this topic. However, that doesn't preclude me from engaging in dialogue!
Coming out is frightening but once you've done it its a lot less scary than before the first one. Enjoy it here they are all so helpful.
Thanks, everyone. TeeJ, that is an awesome .gif. I'm really glad to have been found by an appreciator of the ursine. Yayy
