I just told a close friend of about my whole GID thing - the first time outside of confessing anonymously... and to my surprise, she's completely fine with it? She even would be fine if I became a girl Shocked. Wha? What just happened? Are most people this accepting?  Huh...or at least the girls... I donno, the girls around here keep saying "I want a gay guy friend" although the reason is "because he'll understand me".

It is surprising to see who will accept it and who will not.  Enjoy it.  Don't burden her with it but let her share some of the fun.

Hi Lostandconfused I had one really good friend I started with and by the time it came for me to start full time I had two close friends and many of their friends who accepted me. When I came out at work I had all of the girls at work supporting me, The guys kind of hung back for a time but eventually when they saw I wasn't going to bite them they also came around. And so it was in the big city of Midland Ontario

Thank god for small favors, eh? Congratulations and here's hoping all your future coming-outs are as painless.

i'm glad everyone has friends they can tell and our accepting of them. tbh, i have lost contact with all mine but one and i have no way to really tell him but over the internet as he is serving in Iraq right now. the girl friends i had in high school that are like sisters to me, if i ever did see them again i really don't think they will be shocked. i miss them all.

More people are cool about a lot of things that we don't give them credit for.

It's only fear of rejection that mostly prevents us from making new friends. A lot of people are cool with who we are, and others don't even have to know. All one needs to be is be confident with themselves. As for the one that does give you grief, it is not worth your time to spend on them. There are just to many other folks out there that may accept or need a warm heart into their lives
