Title: Came out to my best friend
Post by: paulault55 on February 15, 2009, 10:28:31 PM
Well in another post i talked about coming out to my stepfather and that it went really good and he is supporting me.
I had been wanting to tell my best friend for a couple weeks but the timing never was right, well Saturday valentines day was the magical day, we met for breakfast before work and during some small talk i asked her what others though of me and she says they think you are gay, i kinda figured that is what people thought but it doesn't bother me. I told her i wasn't gay but asexual and to her it was like no big deal, then she told me she was bi, which i already knew so i decided to go ahead and told her about my gender identity, and she is cool with it. I showed her a picture of me dressed, it's the same as my avatar and all she said was wow and want's me to teach her to do makeup, the only thing i have on in the picture is lipstick, everything is natural. I knew she would accept and she didn't disappoint me.

Paula.
