What was the best thing about coming out for you?

So I know I've complained a lot on here, but a lot of good has happened for me since I came out. Of course the best thing was I found a really great guy who I truly adore and who loves me back. He has been a tremendous source of strength during everything that has been going on. But another great thing has been how supportive my "true friends" have been during all of this as well. Like they say, "you find out who your friends are."

So what was or has been the best thing about coming out for you?
