I have posted a few threads here over the last 6 months. Basically I decided then that i was ready to get started in the gay world but not yet ready to come out due to a very religious Mother who I don't believe will reject me but will have enormous difficulty in reconciling it with her religious beliefs, but hey that's another story. Apart from that I could be out to pretty much everyone else, just "waiting for the right moment." 
Anyway I have recently changed a lot including my look and clothes and joined a gay social group and been to the local gay village clubbing a few times. I know that it will be only a matter of time before I get spotted in "the village" by someone who knows me which will then trigger off my coming out properly and last night it happened. I was trying to get into a gay club where I have been a few times and the doorman wouldn't let me in for some reason. Anyway this other doorman took me aside and said he knew me. It turned out that my Aunt is married to his Uncle, so although we are not blood relatives he is a cousin of my cousin so to speak. I would never have recognised him because last time I saw him was about 10 years ago and he was only about 14 but he recognised me. Anyway we had a brief chat and he asked if I wanted to get in the club and whether I had been in before and I said "yeah loads of times
" Talk about outing myself! Anyway he got me in and told the check in desk that I was his guest and didn't have to pay
. He is such a nice guy
. Anyway it happened so quick and afterwards I realised I should have got his number because I didn't get a chance to ask him not to say he saw me there before I have a chance to come out to immediate family. Anyway he is in touch with one of my cousins who I have been wanting to come out to for a few months. I am sure he is gay. But I wanted to do it face to face and I don't see him that often. The last couple of times I saw him I have tried to get the conversation around to it and he seems to change it, maybe thinking I'm gonna ask him if he's gay. Anyway it looks like this is the catalyst for coming out now. I have phoned my Cousin but his phone was off, so I'll have to try him again later. I'll probably also now use this as an opportunity do come out to my siblings. Not sure yet about my Mum although it would be pretty bad if everyone in the family except her knew. Wish me luck guys.
