*shrug* okay..

I think most people are alot more laid back about this kinda thing then one would expect. I came out as bisexual a while ago and most people's reactions were "Issit".

[Tammy Hope]

Heh, yep.
"I'm not surprised" is half of what I get told in response to coming out. The other half being of course "what about your husband?"

Yeah, that's sort of what I expect ("wife" in place of "husband" of course)

and it's the one question I least have an answer for.

How come everyone knew, accept me?

Well I thought you were to scared to get your ears pierced back then, so I didnt see it either.

I was so in denial that I avoided anything that might have given my secret away.  Then things started to burst out.  Ear piercing, purse carrying, sitting to urinate.  All the coping skills stopped working.  It was never enough.

There comes a time when the caterpillar realizes that it must start the journey to become a butterfly.  The change comes upon it and cannot be stopped.  The caterpillar realizes that it's life, as it has known it, is over.

Sorry.  I didn't mean to hijack.  I just have chatter fingers today...

Chatter fingers.    I like that.  I may have to steal that phrase.

Miniar:

How true it is that our worries about a situation are much worse than the situation itself.  See?  Everybody was pretty cool with it.  Like the other people said here, you'll sometimes get "the gay comment."  So what if that happens, really?

Also, be glad you're of a younger generation.  Tolerance is much greater, in some ways, now than it was a few decades or so ago.  The Coming-out Issue is a sift-and-sort mechanism:  You'll know who your friends really are and who the cooler people really are.  Good luck to you, Miniar.  You deserve it.  Hugs.
