When did you come out the closet?

[Ultra]

First I came out to my best friend who became my partner in March 2008. Then I came out to mom over a half a year later... that didn't go so well. I told her that I was gay and I had a boyfriend. It happened at a really bad moment. She was on the phone and I just had to tell her.

It couldn't wait and I told her right after she go out off the phone with her former best friend (one of her last conversations with that person, another story and not really relevant) at 11:59 PM. She reacted like I was crazy. I don't remember her exact words, but she said I wasn't gay and I didn't have a boyfriend. It was really bad.

The next day I went to my counselor (not my counselor anymore) and I came out to her. She was supportive until I told her how old my partner was... she wasn't too pleased. However, I went more into detail and fully explained to her about the age of consent law. She understood and she was supportive about right up to my last session with her.

Then my mom and her had a talk. The counselor pointed out to her that it's a phase or some bullcrap. I totally disagree. I came out 2 years ago and I'm sticking to my guns about being a gay man.
