How "out" are you?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm out to world as they say! lol all my friends and family know and are accepting of me and my partner.

I'm not one of these who climbs on the roof and shouts about it though. Really cannot stand people who do that. I have a friend who announces to everyone he's gay and it really annoys me. I keep telling him people don't walk up to you introduce themselves and announce they are straight or what ever. Can't get my head round why people feel the need to do that!?!

But anyhow I will willing divulge the fact I'm gay if someone asks.

Is there a lamppost? A faun carrying an umbrella and parcels?

the closest i get to that would be JBLM [formerly fort lewis]. at least there are lampposts and parcel-carrying types there, as well as fauna if no fauns. the only c.s. around is what gas wafts up and out during their training exercises.

I'm not as interested in men as I have been in the past so its not even important anymore..

So, I don't tell people unless it comes up in conversation, but... I'm kind of flaming. Like, seriously flaming. No one was surprised when I came out. The only people who don't know are too naive to recognize a lesbian when they see one (also religious, so I prefer to skirt the topic).

My community is way better at accepting queers than aspies, though, and I'm pretty young, so I have scarce to no angst on this subject as yet. My heart goes out to those of you among as*holes. D=

I am in kind of a weird situation because I accepted my sexuality logically long before I did so emotionally. I forced myself to tell my parents and some random people in front of audiences when the subject came up, but now I am at a stand still because I think suppressing emotion is unhealthy.

I came out to myself a little less than a year ago. And have not told anybody else, and am dead scared of the consequences if I do.

Everyone in my family knows, I just don't like talking about it with them. It makes me super, super uncomfortable, lol. My mom sorta dropped it 1-2 years ago.

Because my partner is in the same asperger friendship group, it would be almost impossible NOT to be out to my friends. My family knows as well

I came out about a year ago, I had met a girl and knew I had to tell my family eventually. My older sister came out as a lesbian a few years before so I knew my mom would be okay with it but I never expected the conversation to go this way.
"Mom, I'm bisexual."
"I know."
That was the end of it with my mom and my family was just as accepting. It was my friends who had the problem, a few in the closet bisexuals were great but my best friend got uncomfortable with my very quickly and her church's beliefs eventually made it so that we cannot be friends anymore.

You don't want friends like that. You're better off without them.

I have learned that recently. We had been friends since we were about 5 years old so it was really hard to accept that she couldn't accept me for who I was. I have a hard time making any friends, most of my friends are online so loosing one of the few that I had offline was very hard. But I found her facebook by accident (she is friends with one of my friends) and read what she wrote about me on there and I quickly learned I am better off without her.
