I came out to just my freinds not too long ago, but i was so nervous and dreading doing it that i was literally pulling out my hair ahaha. It was all down to my friend Alyssa, and shes always known. Anyway she was the one who urged me to tell my friends and ended up telling my friend Ida, after about an hour of me going to do it then stopping.. then saying i would again haha. In the end Ida was only like "is that all? you made it sound like something serious!" from the way alyssa said she had something to tell her about me. It felt great after Alyssa told her and went to tell my other friends too.. all of them took it great exept one, who is a really strict christian, but we made up in the end! I dont know why i acted so stupid over it, it was like standing infront of a huge wall i couldnt get through or over without help, it was just something i wasnt able to say.. I still havnt came out to any of my family, im sure my mum knows. I blew the perfect oppertunity to come out to her years ago..
We were in the car going home from somewhere, and she mentioned that she saw a picture on my pc [one of guys in speedos haha]and she said "are you gay? its ok if you are id love you the same, nothing would change.." and i just froze up.. laughed it off and said im not.. I really regret that because i cant really find a way to tell her, tho i know she will be ok with it, and im sure she knows anyway. But its just like being infront of that huge wall again, something ill have to work around i guess..

Haha I pushed Tony out of the closet! <3

Anyway I came out when I was 12. In a hick town. Yep. Well all of my gay friends outside of town and on the internet were the first to know. And then my friend Laura actually asked me when she was at me house. She was just brushing her hair and then was like "Lyssypoo are you a lesbian?" and from there all of friends started to find out. A lot of them already knew.
But then there was this rumor that went around school and everyone knew. They asked me about it and I couldn't lie. It was a *really* big deal. Stuff like that doesn't happen in my town (though since I went and came out we've had a few others do the same currently.) Some people were okay but most were really rawr Christian about it.
And then their families found out. And people outside of school found out. Little kids found out even. o.o So I either had to tell my parents or have someone else do it. So I told them. They reacted like the rest of the town. >.o

I never came out. And I never will. Coming out to me is admitting I was hiding somewhere in the first place. I never sat down my parents or my close friends and said,' yea I'm into girls.' I just dated girls, I brought them home, my parents saw us in the same bed. I didn't give them the chance to disaprove. Justfying that I like girls, is like justifying why I like the color blue, or that I really like pepsi. I am who I am. Imagine straight people sitting their parents down, ,'Mom I'm really into the opposite sex.' They don't have to. And thus neither do I. There is nothing wrong with who I happen to be attracted to. Love is love regardless. And anyone who is going to naysay on that well, is completely undeserving of my attention. I'd rather just be.

Ummmm..... I'd say compared to the general concensus, my coming-out experience was much easier..... See, when I came out, I was switching schools, and this is the school that my gay cousin had gone to for at least three years, and had come out in.... So I guess that school was already kind of desensitized to it, plus there are a LOT of pro-gay people there, they amaze me with who they are. As for my parents, I only really told my mom, and that was over the phone, 'cus I moved in with my aunt and uncle. o.O

She ended up telling my brother and my dad. My brother is still a little prick over it at times, and I don't think my dad really acknowledges it yet, but it's been fairly easy for me, I guess.....

Hm....well, I obviously came out to myself first, and then I told my best friend (now girlfriend) Taylor. She had come out to me as bi about a month before I told her. She just smiled. Little did I know that she liked me liked me, lol.
Anyway....my parents: Um...lets not go there. My mom = Catholic Homophobe. My dad is much better though. He just wants me to be happy. My brother = My mom. Not fun. He yelled at me and was like: Now I have to deal with you thinking you're a lesbian? Of course, I was sitting there like: Um...you're not me. Leave me alone.
Honestly, I don't think my mom will ever understand. *shrugs* At least I still have my dad, my dog, and my three cats.

I haven't came out yet but I have some life experiences that pretty much shouts that I'm a lesbian. Though my family refuses to read the signs.

When I was about 4 or 5 my cousin had a girlfreind who babysitted my sometimes and I told my mom one time that I wanted to marry her. And then I facinated by water so we were gonna get married under the water tower while the water was spilling out of the sides. Yeah it was cool, from what I can remember, lol. She was pretty hot too, I had good taste, lol. They all thought it was the sweetest thing in the world. They didn't and still don't suspect anything, it makes me kind of mad.

The other time is when one of my frineds who is about 2 years older than me was over at my house. I was 10 and she was 11 or 12 and my brotherh ad been watching a movie. I forget what it was but the people were kissing and so us being the little daredevils we are... and at that point we didn't knwo what being gay was. I mean we knew but we never considered us kissing meaning we were gay. Anyway we did exectly what was in the movies, it was really bad and now neither of us tlak about it at all becuase she's like 16 and totally strait. But I remember that day clearly... and even though it kind of grosses me out becuase that girl could be my sister we are just that close that kind of reasures me that I am gay. I just have to find the right time to tell everyone.
