    Hey ya'll, very new to this site, and attempted to walk out of the closet the other night with/to a few friends..."walking" is probably not the correct word, more like fumbling with the door knob then shoving myself through and falling on my face. 27 here, lesbian. struggling with the word still. Got some personal growth that needs tending in terms of acceptance...but trying. Grew up in the South, have a pretty cool family that doesn't know yet...but they have guessed in the past. in school on the west coast, worried that because of where my family is from that i wont be able to be 'out' down there...which keeps breaking my heart because i miss home.

    hey worndown. I know the feeling, both about falling out of the closet and being from the south.

    Im still working on falling out of it lol..

    I am also from the south..

    No matter what you will have to deal with assholes and while in the South they are more prevalent, once you are out to those who are important to you, you cant let the assholes in society keep you down... When your in the closet its different because you dont want your family and friends to find out.. once they know, who cares what others think? If they are not assholes because of homophobia it will just be something else...

    Welcome to EC, I am sure you will fit in great, we all stumble then fall when approaching the event horizon that is the closet door... Where the force of anxiety is so strong light can not escape and time stands still :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
