    I'm not going to go into too much detail, but I came out to both my conservative parents. I did not plan to do so anytime soon. An opportunity presented itself and I ended up blurting it out. It went as well as I could be expected. I felt very emotionally drained that whole day. Something I did not expect was the way that removing this pressure to stay in the closet cleared my confusion. I know that I am gay now. As soon as I was in a situation where I could be, it became clear that I am.
    Thank you all for your helpful comments on my previous posts. Participating on the forum helped me figure out who I am. Finally went ahead and changed my status out of "questioning"!
