    Yay for you! :relaxed:

    I think that's what I aim for too. I had a lot of silly thoughts going round my head, saying "does it mean I don't value women in any way if I'm gay?" and things like it, and it disturbed me because I like to think I treat others equally and care for their rights (deep down, I knew these thoughts were nonsense, but they were there). I value my female friends greatly and coming out has made me realise how I don't need to be attracted to women to do so. I realise it was crazy talk that was caused by my own inner insecurities and I feel coming out has made me a more content and grounded person, without the same degree of anxieties going round my head telling me I'm a bad person or whatever.
