    I came out to another long time friend today. This is a lady I dated for a short period of time. Her reaction was amazing. Very positive. Her insights and comments made me think, hey why didn't I think of that.

    I'd say I'm nearly 95% out to everyone.

    It's to much effort to keep hiding.

    Congratulations on coming out to 95% of the people you know now, but it is something that never gets to 100%. You will be "coming out" to hundreds of people you haven't met yet for the rest of your life. But, the important thing is that YOU have accepted who you are, that there is nothing "wrong" about who you are to be ashamed about, and that when you do come out to people in the future, if they have a problem with that, it is their problem to deal with not yours. :clap: :thumbsup:
