Straddlers on Coming Out 12 years ago
I would like some advice on coming out to my roommate. I have no clue whether she’s homophobic or not. She’s pretty religious, and I think probably conservative (we haven’t really talked politics). I’ve brought up gay things/people before and she literally had no reaction, so I don’t know if that means she doesn’t care or didn’t want to get into…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice!

I agree that you should test the waters with gay-related topics, and you never know – she might surprise you. Young fundamentalists are increasingly likely to disagree with their churches on gay rights, especially ones who actually know gay people. I knew plenty of people in high school who were lock-step with what their pastor or church believed…[Read more]

So, Im about to go to my university’s GLBTQA student org meeting, which is a first for me. So far Im out to pretty much no one, so this is a rather large step… and Im sorta freaking out >< It's no big deal, right? So why cant I remember that, lol. Sigh
-
How did it go? I remember feeling the exact same way last year when I went to my school’s LGBT group.
-
It went really well, better than I was hoping. Walking in the door was scary as shit, lol. So many people! But everyone was friendly, and that was awesome. Something to go to again, for sure. :)
-
Great! I’m glad it was a good experience. I felt like I basically had “gay” tattooed to my forehead and had to keep telling myself that no one there cared whether I was gay or straight or whatever. It probably didn’t help that I hadn’t come out to anybody yet.
-
Yeah, there was that too. But then I thought about how oblivious I was about the group before I went looking for it, so that made things a bit better. Im in no shape to come out to friends/family at the moment… need to finish figuring myself out first, lol
-
-
That’s awesome that it went well! I was going to say that LGBTQA groups in college usually have at least a few straight ally members so don’t worry that you’re announcing your sexuality in any way.

I always have these really really perfect moments for coming out, but I never take them. For instance, at my school both students from low-income families and students who identify as LGBTQ are considered minorities, and when one of my friends was listing the minority groups, I laughed and said, “Well, I’m a minority,” and she said, “I had no idea…[Read more]

I work as a nanny. My six year old is constantly asking me to marry her.
Conversations we have go like this:
Me: Isn’t it cool that I give you a different hairstyle everyday?
6yo: Yes… Can I marry you?out of the blue:
6yo: have you kissed someone on the lips?
Me: errr…. yes.
6yo: More girls than boys?
Me: errr… yes.
6yo: me too.6yo: are…[Read more]
