Fear, because I have come to the realization that I am 'different' and will not be accepted by everyone.
Liberation, because of the feeling I have once I admit it to myself and tell others my feelings.
Freedom, because I no longer feel a need to hide.
Resentment, because of the feeling of wishing to have accepted myself sooner.

Depends on alot of factors. For some people it is an awful experience because they fear how they might be treated by the society and their loved ones. I held that view that I had to hide it and live a life of secrecy. But coming out was probably the best thing that ever happened to me. Finally accepting myself and living the life I was supposed to be is the most liberating experience.

All I can say to that is "Might God! I'm not the only one!!"
This was me at age 13 going to a non-alcoholic after hours dance club in Toronto where there must have been 1000 or so boys all dancing and having fun.
The bricks came tumbling down...
I knew I had found my place!

Liberating! The feeling of finally realizing a part of who you are is exhilarating. It's like suddenly things in your life appear clearer and finally make sense.

You forgot a letter! I realized that I was "B" and "T" at 12 and it was just another discovery in my childhood, just like discovering that I liked vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate. What came after that realization was the real adventure...

I guess I knew I was gay when I was about 14, when I was in 9th grade. I refused to accept it for a while. After Katrina, I moved to a regular high school. My best friend there told me that I should accept myself for who I am... and I did. I now have a loving boyfriend, and am a happy, gay teen...

At first it can be terribly depressing. The whole way that you look at life has just been totally shaken..But gradually as you come to accept and appreciate who you are it can be extremely liberating.

i've just discovered that i am bi-curious.. it's exciting, yet scary all at once.
i have this sudden urge to get physical with a guy.. but i know deep down, that whether i date a man or a woman, it can never be about sex. it will have to be about love first..
