I came out 2 weeks ago. What a relief that was! I'm so much happier now. My family knows and I have started telling a few specific friends to guage reactions and see how everyone feels about it. My opinion though is this: if they don't like me because of this they were never my friends anyway and I don't need them as a friend if they can't respect me for who I am. I am no different than I was 2 weeks ago, now people just know who I really am. Hell I've even been checking out guys with my mom, awkward at first, but it's fun now lol

hey there I am 24 married to a man and have kids. I tell my friends and family openly that I like girls and guys they may not all like it but the except it one way or another of cource my husband loves it. I dont force it on anyone it is the way i live my life if they dont like dont look my way. knowing if your secure in your sexuality is what you should ask your self that is what the big deal is. If you are then there is no big deal if not then that is where the problems lies.

All my family and friends know. It's tougher on some people than others. Sometimes you lose friends, sometimes you form even stronger relationships.
In the end it's up to you to decide whether to tell someone, but I go by the saying that your real friends are the ones who accept you no matter who you are.

Good for you.
I decided to come out and it was not a big deal, I came out because gay friends insisted. Only one negative thing was that someone reported me for sexual harrassment when I came out. they stated my coming out made them uncomfortable. The end result was that that person now has a complaint filed against them for sexual discrimination, filed on my behalf by the director of nursing at my hospital.

I came out to my family and friends so that they would not think it weird when my boyfriend came over for Christmas dinner. Or when he spent the night at my house. Or that pictures of us together are in frames. Or that we went on a vacation together. I came out so I could be me around them.

See, I was of that attitude for awhile, but when I was asked directly, I still found myself lying. Which meant I had been lying to myself about the reasons I wasn't out. So I did come out. If, when your parents ask about who you're dating, you can tell them without playing the pronoun game, then...that's fine. If you can't, that's fine too but don't kid yourself about why you're not coming out to them.

I came out in 1998, to my surprise my family and friends hardly had any reaction at all, all they want is for me to be happy. I can't imagine trying to hide it!

i decided that also. when i finally brought it up to my parents and friends, the only people who cared were women that wanted sex. now i make my hetero aquaintences come out as such. the easiest way to do this is using tradidionally homo code words when referencing their significant other: lover, partner, life mate... till they come out and say it.
