Hi all.

I have finally come out and told my family I am gay.

Details are in my blogs here on JUB if you are interested.
You can read how I came to finally do it and how it went.

But the short version is I haven't been disowned, they did suspect (20 yrs and no girlfriend) and they are OK with it. I think I still need to give them time to process though.

I don't think I would have done it if it were not for JUB.

JUB you rock.

Thankyou. :wave:
 
Congrats! ......
 
Congratulations, CB! And thank you for sharing your story here--you never know how many people reading this will be inspired by your story and do the same for themselves. You just became a role model.

(*8*)
 
Very happy to know that it went well for you and them.
Love your family for being so understanding. You rock.

congrats man..happy it went well..hopefully it does..whenever I'm ready too :)....
 
Congrats crowboy!

It sounds like you have a very loving and caring family. (*8*)

When my folks finally accepted my being Gay, they become my biggest supporters, and advocates themselves for our Equality as Human Beings.

The way my Mom put it, "now I just know more about you, and understand more deeply some of the pains and struggles that you've gone through."

It sounds like they only want for your happiness. Good on your Dad for asking the questions. :D

Give them some more time, and keep talking with them whenever they bring it up.
 
congratulations, I'm happy for you, especially that your parents were understanding - if only all parents would accept...:P
 
Thanks for all your support. It is appreciated.

That's not how I see myself at all. Maybe as an example of why not to leave it so long.
I feel I have wasted 20 years of my life by not doing it in my teens. I feel I have missed so much and that time has passed that I will never get back.

Having said that I realise I can only live in the now and for the future. Past is past. What's done is done. I made the wrong choice all those years ago. I am now starting to correct that. With all your support I think I may get through it.

Thanks a bunch guys.

i have read your blogs many times in the last few days. so much of who you are and what you are experiencing is there. it kind of makes me feel close to you when i read them, and i really dig that.

ah, i get all dumbfounded and tongue-tied when i'm feeling emotional, so i'll just give you a big (*8*) and leave it at that for right now.

you're an awesome guy, crowboy :luv: and i'm really glad we are buds.

peace, love and happiness.

Aw damn Skoot. I thought we were keeping out mutual admiration just between us. Oh well. Hands of boys he's mine. (When K is not about that is). Have you told him about us Skoot? It's really not respectful to two time. [-X

You were on when I started the PM. Off when I finally finished. :grrr:

Now I have to wait a whole day for your reply. :confused:

I guess I'll just have to go off to dreamland thinking of that hidden thing I found today. :D

Skoot is my moon angel and I'm his Knights in shining armour.

....

Sorry to the rest of you guys if your thinking wtf.
 
Congrats mate on taking that big step!!!

And as someone who did it later in life too I went through a period where I felt the same... that I had wasted so much time... there are days where I still do.

But you know something mate... the fact that I still get butterflies when I meet a guy, that feeling of hope, the new amazing friendships that open up... all that comes now with being old enough and wise enough to know whats real.

Maybe sometimes life plays out just the way its meant to hey...

Congrats again mate... be proud of your courage to start the rest of your life being true to yourself!

I thought I should update.

I have written another blog.

Details in the blog but the short version is:

Feeling low (real low) earlier today. Decided to seek help.

I have received a lot of comments, support and PMs since I came out and I am very thankful for that. I never thought that my experience would impact on others. As it has I think it is important that I be honest about the situation and not leave out any bad bits.
 
Now that you're grasping life by the horns, it's going to scare you a bit. You're still the same person and people around you still treat you pretty much the same.

Without your personal restrictions you can soar. Tackle work like the free spirit you've become and use your momentum to really shine.

You said yourself, everyone already knew (suspected) you were gay. Now that they do know, you don't have to hold back with your dreams and goals. The gay stuff will just fall into place, but don't let it interefere with the goals you've worked hard with up till this point (like work or personal relationships).

You've changed for the better, not the worse. Chin up and excel. Getting help will help you as well. Good luck.
