I nervously came out to a dear cousin of mine the other day, and I was kinda worried about her reaction. I shouldn’t have worried, the first words out of her mouth were, “girls smell better than boys.”
Made me laugh, just thought I’d share -

Hey, so I guess I’m looking for advice, I’d love to be all casual and cool coming out to my classmates when it sort-of tangentially comes up in conversation, but I never take the opportunity. Today a classmate was asking me why I didn’t have a boyfriend yet, and I just kind of mumbled and nodded because it felt like my legs were gonna explode. I’m…[Read more]

I have the same problem. There have been so many opportunities for me to just mention it, but I always clam up. I guess I don’t really have any advice, just commiseration.

That’s okay! It’s good to know I’m not the only one!

Oh man, I’ve been there. I went to a Catholic high school (I didn’t even THINK about coming out there) and now I’m at a historically Catholic college within a secular university where a lot of the people are still Catholic or were at least raised that way.
I just have to say that there are some people who are more accepting than you would think,…[Read more]

some people may not think for a fact that you are straight i know tonss of people who use that question to make sure your really a lesbian and to confirm that the rumors are true you know?
-
also i’ve been through the same thing but it helps to just nnot think about what your saying and just blurt out well…im gay and then after that things go one of 2 ways the bad way or the good way which usually means a shit ton of questions :)
-
Hey I was having the same problem recently….I kept missing all the obvious cues and was starting to go a bit crazy…in the end I just forced it into the conversation, it was awkward, but its out and I feel better now :) just go for it x

Okay, so I shouldn’t be this scared coming out on freaking Autostraddle but I am because…I am bisexual, and I’m sort of concerned I’m going to be on the receiving end of “why are you trying to come out as bi on a LESBIAN website?” biphobia. Anyway, I’ve made some tiny coming out baby steps last year (working it in to relative conversations with…[Read more]

You should just go to a meeting, even if you don’t have much to say and it’s awkward at first. What’s to lose? Don’t feel out of place or like you don’t belong because you’re bi–I’ve been out as bi for 10 yrs now (I’m 26) and I know that even when I’m with a straight boyfriend, my life and experiences are still different from a straight person’s…[Read more]

I went to PFLAG meetings at university because I felt I needed gay identity and to know other gay people. They were so friendly, welcoming, and nice. So did you end up going to any meetings?
-
I went to the drop-in centre at my school a couple of times. Even though no one knew how I identified (because no one can really ask), it was awkward because people seemed to know each other and I was out of place. I’m hoping to go to queer orientation week next year, which I was too afraid/discouraged by rain to attend this year.
I’ve gotten…[Read more]

How about meeting girls online for dates or for friendship only? Sometimes I meet lesbian couples for friendship and maybe they can introduce me to their single friends; plus I get to know more queer people. I belonged to several dating sites before I met my wife. I just looked up to see if there were lots of girls who like girls in Toronto or…[Read more]
