Title: Coming Out Today
Post by: Ryan B. on October 21, 2012, 07:14:37 AM
I've given it much thought over the past few months.  I feel like I won't be comfortable enough to move forward with my transition until I come out to the rest of my family and friends.  So I've decided today I'm going to go and come out to all of them.  They may not all react in a good way... but I feel like I'm finally ready.  Wish me luck!

Thanks!

I made some progress yesterday.  Came out to three co-workers and they all took it pretty well. 

It was silly to think I could come out to every one of my friends/family in one day though.  At least I'm actually moving forward now and not just sitting back and doing nothing.

Congrats on coming out. Yea you may not have reached your goal of letting everyone know in one day, what matters is that you made progress. ^-^

Good Luck, it is your new birthday.

It seems very scary at first and then, you are you.

Hugs Bro.

More brave than I am,  I am still too nervous to come out.
