So, it’s been awhile. I finally just came out to everyone in my life. I figured it’s better they hear from me than social media. My conservative Aunt who I was scared about was the most pleasantly surprised response. She said “You know I don’t care if you’re a pink or green rainbow right? My other Aunt said I’ve loved you for almost 40yrs and I will love you for the rest of my life. I’m so thankful for a family that I was born into that is so supportive. My next step is getting my anxiety triggered self to the pride center. I need community because I am coming out so much later than most, I don’t really know anyone else that can relate. Sorry for the long post and being absent for a couple months.
Congratulations Purpleredhead78!That took a lot of courage! It's wonderful that your family and friends have been so supportive!
Congrats for sure! It is the most liberating feeling in the world to be able to say openly I am gay. Please continue your great progress.
I’m in that process now too. And I hear you about trying to find community. That’s been difficult, no support groups for coming out, much less for later and lifers. It’s a pretty intense process! Congrats to you for getting through it!
