Title: Came out, everything went better than expected!
Post by: Double_Rainbow on May 08, 2011, 12:23:42 AM
Just came out to 3 of my friends and my two sisters!  Everything went better than expected!  Every body was accepting and one of my sisters even went as far as driving 1 1/2 hours to come see me and talk!  Sorry for this, but I just can't contain my glee after feeling a deep dread in the pit of my stomach!!! WHEEHEHEHEHEEEHEHEHEHEHEH!   ;D :) :D

I like the response from one of my friends: "Oh ok, thats cool.  Just be yourself and be happy.  So, when are going to have next practice?(speaking of band)"

Congrats Rini,

The biggest fear is fear itself. I hope you can enjoy being the woman you are. And your sisters are super cool girls. I think you will have a really nice time. When I came out to my sister she said she always knew 'cos I was wearing her clothes and shoes and not putting them back in the right place :laugh: :laugh:

Hugs

Cindy

Have you come back down to earth or are you still walking a foot in the air?  Congratulations. :)

Karen.

Yes, I've majestically floated back down to earth from the cloud I was on.  Have a happy mother's day everyone!

Congrats!

It's great isnt it. I had come out to my closest female friends with a great response a while back, but was nervous about my male friends. I came out to them last week and so far have had 100% positive response. Such a weight off my shoulders :-)

good luck with the rest.
