I,ve always been attracted to females since the age of sixteen but didn't know how to explain it to friends and family. Now that I'm "out of the closet" I've had other family members come to me and say that I've inspired them to come out, and I feel good about it.
so what's your story?

LOL spiffy uniforms. LOL
Seriously I found the g0ys and I finally had a label the fit me I was into men but not into anal sex or effeminate behavior. I liked the masculine ideal and the appreciation for male female relationships. I knew I was bisexual for most of my life but never identified with the gay concept. I don't care what a guy does in the privacy of his bedroom but anal was not for me and the whole gay pride thing never appealed to me. I like being discrete. I don't tell people what me and my wife do why would I want to tell people what me and my bud do. When I found the g0y I was able to accept myself and I have been so happy ever since. I know people get tired of seeing me post it on just about every answer I post here but I want guys who feel like me to know about it so that they can be as happy to accept themselves as I have been.
Any way that is my story thanks for the opportunity to share it.

Randy W,, Your the bomb... Good story and no we are not tired.
I was in High School and I met this girl that went to anther High School and we both just tried so hard to get eachothers numbers and wanted to hang out so bad. So I ended up having a party at my house with all my school friends and she came. She was getting ready to leave and I ask if she could come to my room I had to tell her something. So I was going to kiss her...... Needless to say I totally chickened out and made up some stupid story. Then I was walking toward my bedroom door to let her out and she leaned up against the door and didnt let me open it. I leaned in and went for the best Kiss of my life... We were together for 3 years and 19 years later we are still friends... Shorty after that relationship I told my family...

I grew up in a 100% Irish catholic household. I went to public elementary school and all girls catholic high school by my choice. I spent all of that time desperately trying to prove to myself that I was straight and normal. I went to the extreme of staying with a guy who beat me for 3 years because - from the outside - it was a perfect relationship. After two more years in college and another LTR with a guy I met people who were out and, with some trepidation, admitted to myself that I was secretly attracted to women. I spent a few years as bi - dating both guys and femme girls and neither was doing it for me. I figured maybe I was just a loss and I would never be happy. That is until the day I met my first Butch. As soon as I saw her I knew exactly what I wanted and have sworn off guys since. It didn't work out with her -she broke my heart. I came out to my mom when she found me crying over it. Mom listened and gave advice just like she always did about guys. Dad had died about a month before. After a few more butch girlfriends I met the one I married and have been happy ever since.
As for other people in my family, my cousin came out as bi at 14 - a few months after I did. she said I gave her the strength - if I could do it so could she. But I was 22! she is the strong one!

I'm glad to hear you've had such a good experience! at the time I came out to myself, I was 18 and didn't know and had never known anyone up the that time that was gay. I wasn't sure how my family would react, but I didn't chance it back then as I didn't know if I'd be kicked out. it wasn't until years later, after I moved out and had my own place and a stable relationship that I came out to my family (I had come out to friends who have been very accepting), and they have been very cool about it. unfortunately, my dad had passed away before that time, so I never got to tell him. my mom was only upset that I hadn't told her sooner! so, it ended up a good experience after all...

This will probably date me. :-)
When my best friend and I were 17, Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" video was *everywhere*. We were hanging out at a friend's house with our usual group, and that one came on. She blurted out, "I'd do her, man!" I high-fived her and said "Hell, yeah!" We had both thought we were the only bi people in our group until that moment! All our friends were shocked.
We still both have a flame for Sinead, too!

For the super-spiffy uniforms.
Seriously, I finally got a clue as to why I was so opposed to dating at 20. It wasn't relationships I was having a problem with, it was guys. I told my family because it never occurred to me not to.
