Was it hard to come out of the closet?

Question

i came out of the closet at 13 i told my older sister she had no problem with it and my mom and my mom told her whole family had they problem with it my grand mom found me a wonderfully boyfriend names jamie and Jamie's whole family has no probelm that he is g*y

Answer 1

no, i tried to not feel ashamed of it and that helped, however the closer i am to somebody the harder it is to come out to them, thats y i still havent come out to my parents or brother yet, but so far everybody has responded really well and liked me more than before =D

Answer 2

that's pretty neat that u didn't have any problems. i don't really have that much of a good communication with my family so i honestly am afraid 2 ever tell them...  

Answer 3

yes, i've still got one foot stuck in there. i told most people i know years ago, but i haven't said a word to my family. my mother's paying for college and i don't want to do anything to jeopardize that. i'm pretty sure she suspects though. i should graduate next year so hopefully i'll get the guts to tell her then.

Answer 4

I'm still in the closet to my family. It's hard because they don't accept g*y lifestyles.

Answer 5

No

Answer 6

Haven't done it yet, plan to do it before graduation.

Answer 7

This is like asking: was highschool a very happy time for you.

If you were ridiculed and were not popular, you probably went through h**l and back in highschool.

If you were part of the click list, the popular crowd, you probably surfed through highschool and have great memories about it.

Coming out is pretty much like that. Some will have really horrible and tragic experiences while coming out. And, some will have great happy fairy tale stories of coming out like yours.

Happy to hear yours was a great experience. But be mindfull that many or most really went to through h**l during this process. Maybe you can be of support to those strugling out there. Share your good fortune, turn it around and...what was that cheesy nice movie? pay it forward :)

All the best, and welcome

Answer 8

i guess it depends on the environment culture.

some place can accept, some can't.

mostly, asian countries are more conservative.

Answer 9

I told my g*y best friend at 13 that I was bi, I started crying. It was the hardest thing. But now all my friends know that I'm a L*****n, and my sister/her husband still think I'm bi.

When I came out as a L*****n, it was so easy. But back a few  years ago it was a very touchy subject.

There all very loving and excepting =]
