This is great! **Hoping** to come out before I ever date someone, so hopefully I won’t have to email this to any future girlfriends.

Great article. My girlfriend has been the patient one with me and you’re absolutely right, I was never not-out because of her. If I could have, I’d have loved to have told everyone I knew because I was so happy, but it was my mum who put the brakes on and said she didn’t want me telling the wider family.

Fast forward a few years and some serious rows with my mum, and the whole family knows (and no one cares, as I predicted, HA, take that Mum!) and we’re getting civil partnered next year and everyone’s invited Yay!

But it would have been really tough if my OH hadn’t been so understanding about the situation and got that it wasn’t embarrassment or shame on my part that kept me from telling people.

Parents make the whole sexuality label a big thing. Being gay isn’t seen as a great thing in my family so for me to be out properly I’ve decided to wait for a girl worth coming out for and ease that girl into the family so my parents can like her and get used to her company.

The first picture is super cute. Also the info is good. Does anyone know if its possible for others to view one’s groups on facebook these days?

I definitely felt this way with my current girlfriend, it was hard to NOT feel like she didn’t love me or was embarrassed when she wouldn’t introduce me to her family. I had to realize though that me and her were in two different spots emotionally and being comfortable with our sexuality. Instead of getting all “butthurt” I needed to learn how to be understanding and more importantly be there for her so I would be the one she’d want to introduce to family.

How long are you supposed to wait for her to come out? It’s been over 5 years…
