Are you 100% out

[Kennywife]

I'm out to my friends and hubby. (bi-sexual). My cousin and her girlfriend know and are totally supportive. I haven't told anyone else. I think my dad would be okay about it, but my mom....that's another story.

With that disclaimer, do you think it's possible that your mother knows the truth but could be a little clumsy at bringing it up?

That does come to mind at times, but when someone says that it doesn't make it a safe environment for me to tell her.

Have been out to friends for ages, since i was at Uni ( 10 years ago *sob*)

Came, out to my bro first, that was easy. Mum and dad was more difficult, but they are pretty cool about it now and get along really well with my BF.

The rest of the fam found out last year when we went to a wedding, was mega strange, but cool at the same time, as i used to worry about it a bit.

Its not an issue at work, i work in the media, so there are gays everywhere. But in general i never really have to say anything, as i don't need to...

I'm only out to a few people at work and some of my family including a cousin and my siblings, but not my parents. ....and now to DISers I guess.

Hi there and to DIS...

Would you like to go out with me sometime???



P.S. - jewelsangel is my DP who finally took the plunge and joined DIS

 

[jewelsangel]

Sure. You look normal enough!

 

[SingingMUA]

I just realized I didn't answer the question....

I'm out to some friends and some of my coworkers. And I'm generally out to new people that I meet. I think my mom knows, but I haven't told her. I think she just figured it out. I'm not out to the rest of my family. But I also don't see them much, either.

Ha!! Of course I'm normal... it's everyone else who has "issues"...

 

[TimmyTimmyTimmy]

I am out and everbody at work knows all about it now...
It´s not a big deal to be gay in Sweden anymore. I never knew anybody who had problems with it here. But then again people know not to mess with a guy like me

 

[m-and-m]

i'm 15, i just recently told my mother and 2 of my best friends i am bi, they're the only ones that know. they've been really supportive.

This is a great thread!

For you who are in the process of comming out, or are just lurknig here and haven't come out yet, hugs! It can be a difficult process. Can I share a song that helped me? I must have listened to this song 500 times before I made up my mind that it is "My life and I gotta live it"! Just listen to the lyrics, and know it will be OK!

Trust me .....from a guy who "came out" when it wasn't "cool" to be gay!

Mike, you paved the way for 'cool'!!!!!

I'm not gay or bi, but I do have a little funny

I am a visiting nurse and had a 103yo patient who had recently started dialysis. Her body was failing, but her mind was pretty good. She lived with her 60-some year old son who always had a 'friend' over. In fact he was introduced to me as David, a friend of the family (who was considerably younger than the patients son). I knew they were partners, but never said anything out loud (not very professional).

Anyway, I needed to check the patient's bottom to look for bedsores, so her son helped pull down her pants (she was in bed) and then helped pull them up when I was done checking her bum. The patient started yelling at him "Tom, you are being too rough. Stop being so impatient. That is the reason you never found a woman, you are too impatient!" To which Tom answer, "Yeah, mom, THAT is why I never found a woman" Tom, David and I were hysterical laughing.

His mom died a few months later, I'm sure never knowing her son was gay, which was his decision, and that is fine. I ran into them about a year ago and they were grocery shopping, now living together. So sad that it took all these years for them to be 100% out.

Yeah- what did Ben Franklin, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson think about it when you told them you were gay?

They said "Dont worry Mike, your not the only one, Betsy Ross has a friend named Wally helping her get things all sewn up!"

Betsy was a slut.

Betsy was a slut.

No wonder you were friends with her!

"Birds of a feather" and all that.

I can't tell you how many times I had to tell her...
"Betsy - Make it work!"
