Straddlers on Coming Out 12 years, 4 months ago
This morning at work, I came out to the two girls I nanny. The parents already knew but I went to great effort to hide it from them thinking perhaps they were to young to understand/it’s the work place, etc. But my boss told me they’d never said anything about it and they wouldn’t care anyway.
So we were talking about giving and getting flowers…[Read more]

Baltimore / D.C. Autostraddlers! 12 years, 4 months agoHow about a DC Pride meetup? I’ve never gone to Pride before and it would be nice to meet DCstraddlers. From what I can tell there is a Festival and a Parade that you do not have to pay to get into?
-
according to the website, the festival is free but they would appreciate a 5 dollar donation. what did have in mind as far as a pride meetup?
-
I… have no idea. :/ I just sort of have a vague “I should go to Pride this year” notion.
-
-
If you decide to do something, please post it. It’d be nice to wander around with a group.
-
Is there anyone who has been to Pride/is more of an organizer that could lead us in the right direction?
-
I was at pride a couple of years ago, from what I remember, the march was on saturday and the festival on sunday? the march starts at dupont, if y’all want to meet up we could do a meetup at like the cosi/bajafresh on 19th street at like 5.30 or something and chat for a bit before the crazy. I think it starts at 6, but I haven’t looked anything…[Read more]

parade map! http://www.capitalpride.org/parade/parade-map
the parade starts at 5:30. -
I think a dinner meetup followed by the parade would be great. Cosi or Baja Fresh are both fine with me. If the parade starts at 5:30, when should we meet- 4:30?
-
I think 4 or just a bit earlier might be better because it will be busy and it will give people time to get down there and we’ll have more time to chill
-
so cosi on 19th & k around four or so? the entrance is on 19th, right? i’d be getting there late but i’d be down
-
Okay, sounds good. How will we all find each other?
-
make a sign! or wear a distinctive hat or something. i’ll also PM you what i look like.
-
OK – I’ll be wearing a black tank top & long sort of coral/red skirt, if anyone needs to find me.
-
actually jk I will be wearing a sort of turquoisey floral dress
-
Guys I am a liar and sorry I am super late but on my way writing this from my phone I am wearing a DC vote hat I will look for y’all hopefully you’re still there!
-
yeah… I got kind of disoriented on my way to the metro and once I got there, the train took FOREVER to come, so by the time I got to Dupont Circle it was already 5:30. Sorry! I hope y’all enjoyed the parade!
-
this totally didn’t work out at all. redo redo redo! (with more time to plan ahead first)

You guys, I’ve had a girlfriend for a week (well, officially/exclusively… but we’ve been dating for almost a year) and I’m scared because tomorrow is the date I have set to come out to my mom. Quite a few of my friends know, and my little brother knows. He says that our mom suspects it, so I’m thinking I shouldn’t be as worried (?). But I’m…[Read more]
-
You set a date? Better than me. I decided when people were worthy, fretted about it at every opportunity (read: whenever I was with that person) and eventually kind of blurted it out after “I have something to tell you” was used as the generic opening line.
I think you should just work up your confidence beforehand and go for it. Assuming you…[Read more]

So, I lied and totally chickened out on the date I had set. Did that on the next day and the next day and the next day too. Last night, I realized that the only way I would be able to get it out is if I told her I had something to say. Felt a little discouraged when she said “Don’t tell me tonight… wait until tomorrow.” But today we had the…[Read more]

I think the necessity of coming out to people was something I mentally created/adhered to. I say this because literally EVERYONE knew already. I told my mom and got an “I know.” I told my friends, and from EVERY ONE OF THEM, I got an “I know.” I told my teacher-mentor guy, and he said “I know.” I told the family I live with now rather than my…[Read more]

I “came out” (by which I mean the final installment of my three-stage-coming-out) not that long ago, maybe a month – yeah about a month ago. I’d already told some friends, and my parents (whom didn’t react too well, but seem to be coming around) it was at my Sixth-Form Summer-Ball, and I had had a small amount of alcohol – the amount where…[Read more]
