Straddlers on Coming Out 11 years, 10 months ago
Coming out during Christmas advice needed.
Over the summer I in fact came out to my parents, who are incredibly Christian/conservative/butawesome. It went well in the fact that they aren’t treating me differently, it went bad in the way that they aren’t about to acknowledge my queerness anytime soon and think that 23 years of life with only one 9…[Read more]

I really wish this forum program would recognize spaces, because all of that is actually neatly spaced paragraphs instead of a large blob of text.

Wow. I don’t know that I have any useful advice. Have you considered talking to your parents beforehand and seeing if they’re cool with it? I don’t know if that’s a good idea or not.
-
I feel like you have been considerate of your family for awhile now with not coming out to the rest of the family. Maybe this will be a great opportunity to share the news with everyone else at the same time your cousin is going to tell everyone shes been married for a year secretly. I feel like your situation will balance out the other. Might not…[Read more]

The parents are the tricky ones. All of my close friends know but I’m too afraid to tell my parents. They’re christian (dad more so than mom) and I’m afraid I’ll become their family secret that they’ll ignore or not acknowledge my sexuality to the rest of the family. Its like there’s never a good time to tell them. I’ve told myself that they must…[Read more]

So i am really glad that there is a group for straddlers coming out or plan on coming out. Currently I’m not out. But i have told one person i was gay, shes my college professor. I knew she was gay from day one when i walked into class(Shes gorgeous) and I would always sit in class wondering who to talk to. So one day i finally decided that i…[Read more]

I think it’s perfectly okay as long as it stays within the realm of fantasy. And actually, professor crushes can often be really good motivators to do extra-well in that class, as I learned my freshman year. The professor I had a crush on then is now writing recommendation letters for me for grad school. I doubt that would be the case if I had…[Read more]

I agree with the motivation thing. I worked 10x harder this semester to get good grades, especially that class. She is someone to talk to and she always offers to me if i need anything(advice wise) to email her and keep in touch. So i am grateful to have her for advice. It’s a hard adjustment. But it’s getting better. :)

Are there any ladies in here who came out or are coming out a little later (late 20s/30s)? All the local support groups I’m aware of are for teenagers and college age women so I’m trying the online route for support. I’ve come out to a few local people who identify as gay, lesbian, or genderqueer and I’ve been really disappointed by the fact…[Read more]
