In the long run, I don't think this will really affect me that much in the future, since I do not plan on ever pursuing a homosexual relationship. but for sanities sake i felt like posting this.

I don't know if theres much of a GLBT population on the TFP, but I know there are some. I would love to hear any experiences with coming out and how people have reacted.
Zephyr66,

there is alot larger GLBT here on tfp than you would assume and in society than you would assume

coming to terms with yourself is a big step and i congratulate you on having reached this milestone with yourself !! That is truly wonderful

coming out is an interesting thing . . . you will feel a Great weight has been lifted off your shoulders and a sense of freedom. Some reactions will be good and some will be bad. It takes courage to be yourself Zephyr66 and i applaud you

coming out for me has been very recent . . . of course, my husband and my girlfriend know

But i have been quietly telling people in my life that i can trust and it has been a positive experience. Some people i haven't told, just because i know they won't accept it or understand it, so those people, don't bother to let them in. Some may disagree with me on this and say you have to tell everyone . . . but i say just tell those close to you and those that matter in your life

If you're worried about your girlfriends reaction . . if she doesn't accept who you really are, then she isn't the one for you. And she probably will be cool with it anyway Alot of woman think guys checking out guys is hot . . .

Good luck to you And feel free to comment on the full monty ANYTIME . . . we need some guys in there
