I came out tonight! (to my friends only)

[Metall Auf Metall]

However vain, I feel that me finally coming out to my best friends as bisexual is one of the best things to ever happen to me. Why? Because they don't care! As such, I feel elation like I have very rarely, maybe never, felt before. For more than a year now I have been plagued with worries of coming out to my fully straight best friends, since we make jokes about ourselves having a homosexual relationship with one another all the time. However, they were more accepting than I could have hoped for, brushing it off like it was nothing. Furthermore, there has been no instance in which I have expressed any sort of desire for another guy in front of them. I can't fully express the level of content that I feel now.

Congratulations on coming out to your friends. I'm glad that everything went well for you !

Thank you. It feels great that I can finally start being myself. But I feel that it maybe a process, of which I am prepared for as much as I hope to be.

Good job, man!

People always complain about how celebrities should come out and be role models to kids, etc., but I think what really makes the difference in society is average people coming out and showing that, hey, people can be gay/bi and still be your totally cool friend/neighbor/co-worker.

congrats i remember when i came out to my friends (one by one) they all accepted it and it totally took a load off my mind and made me feel so good that i had friends like that. when you feel right, to it also feels even better to come out to your family, if they accept it and it doesn't change anything it confirms to you that your family is the most important thing to you and they will always be there for you. if they don't then they don't deserve to have you as a relative cause everyone is fabulous and exactly who they are supposed to be. so.....

CONGRATS!!!!

I had the same experience when I came out 8 years ago. I remember being pleasantly suprised each time I told someone. Its so much easier these days, and I thank the older gay men who blazed that trail for us.

Maybe that was alright for you, but in my life I learned that what happens between two persons sexually is best regarded as personal and private and ought to remain so. Much as I loved my parents and my family, they really had no business in my sex life. They were entitled to just what they could observe. Some of them probably figured out that my three boy friends were more than just freinds to me and the same with my two girl friends. I was pleased to be the sex partner to each of these persons and my parents and my family and friends were polite: they did not ask and I did not tell. AND IN THAT I FELT THAT MY SEX PARTNERS AND I CONTRIBUTED TO THE EVER PRESENT MYSTERY CONCERNING HUMAN SEXUALITY AND DID NOTHING TO DIM THE BEAUTY AND THE WONDER OF SEX GENERALLY.

I RECALL THAT GOING HOME FROM MY VERY FIRST SEXUAL EXPERIENCE i WANTED TO SHARE MY ELATION WITH THE WHOLE WORLD. BUT, I ALSO KNEW THAT IN MY TOWN IT WAS GOOD SENSE TO KEEP SUCH NEWS FROM THE MORALITY SNOOPS.

Yes, the advent of the Internet has been a boon to me: I now can share my joyful remembrances with the members of JUB
