    That's actually the day of my first appointment with my therapist. Since people know I'm bi, and I'm not quite ready to discuss being Trans with the family yet, I suppose she'll have to do :slight_smile:

    I'm not sure what I'll do for National Coming Out Day. My Bisexual Women's Support Group is that day though so maybe I'll bring something to share with the group in celebration.

    I used NCOD two years ago...was it really that long?...anyways, I used it to come out to about twenty people over facebook - everyone was really supportive so even though it was a hard thing to post, it was still a great/proud moment for me :slight_smile: Been out for two years to many people now. There's still a few family members I want to disclose my orientation to, but I'm not quite ready for that yet :slight_smile: Not sure if I will be doing anything special tomorrow for NCOD, since I do have practicum and then class after, and I'm not exactly out to my classmates XD Tommorow might be a good time for that though :wink:

    I haven't used NCOD in a while. TBH I think I'm as out as I feel like being at the moment. Which is to most people. But who knows, maybe I'll meet some new person and get to tell them I'm bi...you never know.

    I'm in doubt if I should do something about it. NCOD isn't something big in the Netherlands and not very well known... so I'll probably let it pass.

    OR I might start wearing the rainbow bracelet I bought a while back. Didn't have the guts to wear it in public so far but this might be a good excuse.

    Hello all, this is my first post!

    I'm hoping to come out for the first time to my twin brother on NCOD. I'm really nervous, but I think it's time. Hopefully sometime afterwards I'll just get it over with and post a Facebook message for everyone to finally know the truth too. Should go well...

    I'm planning on coming out on Facebook on NCOD, at least to people at my college, I'm going to change the privacy setting so only people on my UCLA list can see the post.

    Heh heh, but that's too long of a story for this post! Lols so happy ncod guys

    I'm so nervous. I'm coming out to everyone on Facebook, then I'm wearing a rainbow tie and selling coming out buttons with the GSA.

    Here goes nothing I guess! :icon_eek:

    I've got a lunch "date" with one of my best friends tomorrow, based on the number of gay friends (sorry if that comes off as offensive) she has, it should go well.

    and it'll be a cheap coming out too, I gotta coupon! :grin: (yea, I'm poor.)

    Well I guess it's technically today. I had thought about coming out to my mom and dad on this day but this day has come a lot quicker than I thought :confused:
    and still not ready :/

    Anyway, good luck to anybody else who plans on coming out!

    I am not ready to come out now, but I bet next year I will come out to my sister on this day, that is if she is in the mood. Next year it will be a Friday, so that will give her the weekend to think about it.

    Just changed my interested in to men on Facebook and posted "Happy National Coming Out Day!" I hid these from some people, but I'm still proud of myself for doing this.
