We both talked about how tired w rare of the influence of religion in the family so j just took the chance to come out. She took it well surprisingly
Congratulations, it’s a big step and often not a very comfortable one your first few times. Also, this is not meant to put a damper on anything, but just understand that you’ll be coming out your entire life, (especially) any time you’re in a relationship with someone of the same sex.
Friend group in college? You’ll be coming out either overtly (“I’m bi!”) or implicitly.
Introducing people at work to your partner. At first when you do it you’ll be watching for reactions, gauging any changes in body language. It’s just the reality.
And it’s why normalizing different orientations and presentations of the many facets of being LGBTQ+ is so important in society. So that coming out doesn’t have to be a real thing anymore. You’ve done something important and beyond yourself. The more people realize that LGBTQ+ people are everywhere—the more seen we are—the more it becomes normalized and helps shifts the current default.
Yay! I’m happy for you internet stranger.
Thank you stranger
Congrats, coming out is never easy. I’m glad you found someone you were comfortable enough to open up to.
your whole profile is such a journey, i’m really happy for you, friend :)
Yeah, its been a journey. I’m nowhere near finishing it tho. Knowing the pattern things will probably crash down again soon
i’ll keep following along and sending love either way, stay strong and don’t be silent <3
I appreciate that. I just feel kinda bad because I’m filling this sub with my bs. That’s what it feels like tbh
i can’t tell you how to feel, but i can tell you how i feel-
i think that following a journey like this is really heartwarming. i really like to follow a journey instead of seeing an inspirational quote at the end of one. if i lived with the same struggles as you, i think your journey would be a treasure trove. that includes the ups and the downs. please keep sharing :))
I will. Besides here is the only place I feel safe sharing this. I’m glad I found fediverse lgbt spaces
I appreciate that. I just feel kinda bad because I’m filling this sub with my bs. That’s what it feels like tbh
