    Wow, congratulations everyone!! You were all so strong yesterday!! I'm so happy that it seemed to go pretty well for everybody! Thanks to everyone for participating ^^ It made it so much easier to come out myself!

    So yeah, I told him, and he was perfectly fine with it!! I feel so silly for worrying about it so much ^^; I kinda wished that we could have talked about it more, but he let me know that he was okay with it ^^ and that makes me so happy!!!

    What would inspire you "enough"? What do you need "enough" inspiration specifically for? Maybe if we knew, we could help with the inspiration.

    Don't worry - it's not the right time for everybody. I think it's great that several people just chose a random date to all come out together, but it's not going to be right for everyone. There are a lot of other members here who did not get involved with "The First EC Mass Coming Out Day" or whatever we're gonna call it.

    So don't feel pressured. Come out when you are ready.

    Yes, definitely! I think yesterday proved that we're all stronger as a group ^^ we're always here for you, Jim! When the time is right, you'll be in our thoughts ^^

    So that went really, really well! We should definitely do this again, but this time less spur of the moment, hehe! We should set a definite date next time, something that'll work no matter where in the world you live. This was just the thing to give a lot of us the strength and encouragement we needed, and I'd like to see it happen again!

    We could stick to a pattern, second Wednesday of the month - so how about Wednesday 11th July?

    This was truly an awesome experience. It was so motivating to know others were going through the same thing and hearing all the coming out stories! I did not get to tell my best friend last night because she didn't come to the bar but my cousin responded to my email. Here's what she said:


    | | | Inbox


    I am happy for you that you are connecting with yourself and learning to be yourself...that is wonderful...am I surprised, NO and what does that have to do with the wedding...this is about you no one else and you can always count on me to keep this between us...I look forward to seeing you this weekend
    Love you Lydia XO


    This is wonderful, I really feel so relieved. I think it's going to be a bit easier to come out to others now. I hope haha .. I'm up for telling some friends next week on wednesday! This was an awesome idea :slight_smile:

    hmm. ill be in europe on the 11th so i guess ill come out to someone while over there. (sadly I doubt ill get a chance to get on EC, with slow internet and all). But it is a great idea to do more mass coming out days. It certainly made it easier on me.

    Will do. It'll probably be my cousin or someone i barely see. i dont think my parents will be ready for that kind of shock, but when will they be ready?
