It may surprise you to know that I'm a little bit g-a-y. I know it will be a shock, so let's have a discussion about coming out.

Are you out? When did you come out? How was it? What worried you (if anything)? Was the experience of coming out better or worse than you expected and how so?

Are you not out? Do you want to be out? If you want to, what's on your mind about what will happen if/when you do?

Also since going to college, I'm more open and I've met some other people like me who are gay. Being friends with them is nice, heard about someone who came out recently and since their parents we're religious they weren't accepting. I am gonna have a chat with her in a bit once my college arranges it.
 
I had a girlfriend when I was in 8th grade. My parents knew but didn't make a deal of it. I don't identify as being LGBTQIA. I've not had that type of relationship since but have had several boyfriends. Call it curiosity call it a phase.

I think you find that a lot. When you’re at school (or at least when I was), if there was any hint of not being straight the kids would take the piss and bully like crazy or at best treat you as an outcast. College is a lot more civilised and nobody gives a sh!t
 
Ok I’ll share. I am straight but don’t hate if someone comes onto me i respectfully tell them not interested. But i do support the community and am all about sharing love.

But my friend Brian who i have know for 12yrs. Became friends in College. Came out to me and is now Ashley 2 weeks. I’m so happy that he’s finally happy and i will always support her in her choices. She’s more upbeat and what not.We are friends and that’s never gonna change.

I am very close with my family, so when I decided I had to come out to them I was pretty terrified. I was imagining that scene in V for Vendetta when the father throws the girl's baby picture in the trash. I was crying and a mess when I finally told them one night in the living room, and they couldn't have been more supportive. They hugged me and said all the right things and for me, it turned out to be a really good experience.

I've never felt like I needed, or wanted, to tell everyone. It slowly came out to the family. My graduate school cohort eventually found out over the course of years. There are people I work with today that still don't know. It's not that I'm hiding it, I just don't think it's relevant and hasn't come up in conversation yet. I've been with my girlfriend for almost eight years, so if there is a social event, I'm sure more people would find out.

Omg I have said this my whole life I don't feel people should need to come out
It shouldn't be seen as different we are what we are ✌️

Ive been thinking the exact same thing and saying it occasionally....maybe it starts with us? This is all be thinking out loud but its such a common question amongst the gay girls I talk to, maybe we need to just be.

I know in days past it was very important but society has moved quite a ways....

Still each to his own I am happy for people to come out and I always hope and pray it goes well for them.

PS i hope i havnt offended anyone I think about topics like this exploring in my own head ways and paths for a different way of lookimb at them.
