This is great
I'm so happy for you

Okay but you want to be happy?
So what's your plan? Stay in the closet for the rest of your life?
Don't do this to yourself, you will see that some people will be there for you
Be Strong, Be Happy, Be Real

First came out to one of my teachers because that's the person I felt I could tell. My mum found out because of an argument we had and not the way I planned on telling her. I felt really upset after I told my mum for some reason, like I had let her down and then I posted it on Facebook that I was gay

Actually I did lose a lot of friends, the male ones I had never spoke to me again and my step-brother refuses to speak to me. Tbh I never had any really proper friends in school who accepted me but I do now at uni

The situation is good just now, although my mum can be funny around me sometimes

- i just came out 2 months ago.. i'm 18
- my sister who i'm closest to! but she was on a trip for a month so i told her over the phone
- amazing. life is so much easier now
- most of my friends act different around me now but idgaf.. family is the only thing that matters
- amazing. i feel happier than ever

When did you first came out I guess I came out to myself more and more this past year (before I just took it for granted)
- Who was the first person to know- sister
- How did you feel after it- it was alright, it's just something I don't choose to shove into people's faces
- Did you lose any friends- not at all, if anything they assumed I was gay
- How is the Situation now. Ehh, I live on my own, so the only way is up

Edit: I told at least my dad, who's stricter I was open to dating guys and girls, and he was like cool whatever. My family can be so passively chill.

- When did you first came out
February 2003 (I was 17). ]I was pretty much forced out once my mom found gay p0rn on my computer She was very upset with me. She tried to sweep it under the rug and let it go. We never really got to address it because she always avoided it like a plague. On my 18th birthday (3 months after she found out), she and my grandmother had picked me up from school one day because we were going grocery shopping. Well, to my surprise, we didn't go shopping, we actually ended up at my family's church I had to listen to the minister read bible scriptures to me for 30 minutes It was quite awkward...

- Who was the first person to know
My mom (see above)

- How did you feel after it
I felt awkward. I felt weird. I was only 17 at the time. Ever since then, my mother and the rest of my family have grown to my lifestyle and are totally comfortable with it.

- Did you lose any friends
I didn't lose any friends.

- How is the Situation now.
I am fine. That was almost 10 years ago, and I am in a much better place than then.

I'm too scared to come out.
But I don't hide it either, I act like a queen irl.

I don't have a plan, tbh. The thought of it alone. My family are from the C'bean and that's like an embarrassment to be that way And the way they talk about gays

But I know there's a slim chance 1 of my sisters will accept me, I think she knows, well kinda

Same

- When did you first came out: 13
- Who was the first person to know: My best friend.
- How did you feel after it: Amazing
- Did you lose any friends: No
- How is the Situation now.: I'm out to everyone, literally. I have many friends and it's amazing.

Well...I guess the first person that I was close to that I came out to was my sister. Not like it was a shock or anything, and she accepted it. I did it over Skype, though. I think that ever since I came out, I have found it a lot easier to make friends and be less awkward around people. I don't really see a difference, besides the former having more friends thing. I am also...idk I feel free-er? Is that a word? I don't know, but yah. I'd go into detail, but who the **** reads a mile long post.

+1.
I'm so scared to....
I'm 16 now, 17 next month but ugh idk. Its a struggle. Everything in my life will be ruined when I do....

Wait it out I would think. When your ready, you'll be ready, but if not, just enjoy life how it is

I feel the same way, my family is from Trinidad. plus, my dad always brings up how he wants grandchildren from me. i'm like "only if you knew"..
