    I just came out last year, at the age of 36. It's been amazing!! I knew there was that weight on my shoulders, but didn't realize just how heavy it was until it lifted. And it all happened in one night. It was totally a spiritual thing. I feel like I've just been born!!! I tell people I'm 37 going on 23; I even get carded ALL the time now! 40 lb. lighter, in shape, making tons of new friends. I got a "reset button" in life, yay!!!!!

    August 3, 2008 (I know all my dates which the OCD in me likes) making me 14, but I don't think I'll be done and totally open until 21, that's the goal at least...

    I remember talking to my parents at 13, about two friends and myself being gay. They told everyone in the imediate family the next day. Some were supportive others did not understand, and still do not.

    I told most of my friends when I was 15, and came out to everyone else just in the past few days. Like, i'm pretty open in public with my girlfriend, and if someone asks I just tell them. I still haven't told anyone in my family, but I know my aunt and uncle will take it well (hope so anyway). So I might tell them when I visit them in Liverpool soon. :slight_smile:

    A couple of friends when I was 14 or 15, then scattered over the next few years, ending with my parents when I was 17. There are still a couple of people who don't know (extended family) but I consider myself mostly out.

    I came out to a few people just over a year ago when I was 21 just before I graduated from university. I wish I had done it sooner.

    I told my family and all my closest friends when I was 16 and now the only people that don't know are people that arn't as close to me.
