Happy for you mate. Have just come out to myself to my Dad (not rest of the family, i will be doing that later on next year) and it was pretty good. Glad to hear your kids were okay with it. Keep us posted on how you go with the other family/friends.

I did it. I came out with my teenage kids today. I was nervous and didn't really know what to say, but it went very well. I told them individually, and they both said they want me to be happy. Melt my heart! Hopefully they will let me know if any difficult feelings come up over the next few days.

Now that they and my former wife know, I will be coming out with other friends and family as it feels right. I met my boyfriend afterward for a celebratory drink. After a month of hiding our relationship, we stood close together on the street in our little town. I kissed him before getting in the car, not caring who might see. It was a wonderful feeling.

Thanks for all the support here!

Hooray. You made me shed a tear or two, Geminize.... So happy for you. The hardest is done now... Congratulations... I think this deserves a rainbow.

Thanks, Meg, it took me a while to design, so I intend to make use of it a lot... Feel free to borrow it.

I have been on the phone for hours today with family members. Everyone has been surprised, but supportive. My two brothers were both laughing with me by the end of the calls, and it was not nervous laughter. Of course, I've saved the more challenging people for later but their time will come.

I wish everyone could feel as loved and supported as I have in coming out. The GS community has really helped me to feel ready to take these steps. Thanks again for all the great posts!
