    I decided to clear the air because some people think that I'm gay which there is nothing wrong with gay but I told everyone that I'm bisexual with a preference for men. I haven't told people I'm gender queer because I didn't​ think people would understand. I'm so happy with the amount of likes and hearts I got. It was a lot more positive than I thought it would be

    Congratulations! That is so courageous and it's good that you got such a positive reaction :slight_smile: I have honestly considered doing the same because I think it would be easier to address more people at once

    Very nice! I'm happy to hear it went so well! I hope to work up the courage to do it myself one day! I told my parents and grandparents and now I just want to tell my siblings myself, but then I'd like to address it at some point publicly, probably during pride month some time. Since it's also my birth month :eusa_danc

    I'm glad things went well.
    I would come out on facebook too, but I don't have a facebook any more.

    I'm happy for you! When I did it, I got two "likes" and that was it. I was pissed, because it takes a lot of courage to do that, and I left Facebook for a few days. Came back, deleted all that I posted about me coming out. :frowning2:
