I'm glad you had that opportunity to come out. In a way, it's a bit nerve-racking, but well worth it in the end.
I'm out to only friends at this time. My immediate family and I are quite distanced (emotionally speaking) and have been that way for over half my life at this point. Though I wish I had that closeness with my Dad, he seems to not really care if I even call. My mother (whom passed away nearly two years ago) was always the one to argue against me, because I brought myself up. My brothers just tolerate me at this point.
So yeah, I leave it as this: The door is open. If you are willing to come in with an open mind and support me, then I will tell you what you may need to know. But at the same time, I do not wear my sexuality on my sleeve, and honestly I do not feel the need to go around telling people everything either. I guess that's the result of going to a high school where I was bullied for supposedly being Gay. But it's my life.
