Out

[skcin]

Wondering how many of our gay Ledgies are out in their "real" lives? Obviously, if this is too personal, you don't have to answer. I'm just curious.

How old were you when you knew you were gay? How about when you came out? How did people react? Are you out to your family, friends, workplace, some or all of these?

Do you have something to tell us Paula?

Well, let's not forget that altough I've slept in the same bed as a few gays, I've also slept in the same bed as you, lady!

Oh, man. Do you have something to tell me?

Nah (not with girlfriends). Although, I'll admit, I have thought about it and would be willing to try it, if the place and time was right

I'll be there in an hour.



Kidding dude. You're hot & everything. But I'm straight as an arrow. Plus, our husbands would probably like watching us more than we'd like doing it. So screw that!

I knew when I was in 7th grade, and I wanted to stay inside and play with my sister's stuff rather than go out and play football with the guys. Plus, the kid that sat next to me was kinda cute.

All of my friends knew I was gay like, last yearish. I didnt really need to tell them anything, as I guess I'm pretty obvious. And when I started going out with Brad, I guess that was the reassurance they needed. I still havent told my parents, and dont intend to either, because A) It's none of their business, and B) I dont think they'd care anyways.

OUT!!!

Have been officially since 18

Have known since 11

"You know, I think-uh...everybody...little bit gay"- Margaret Cho impersonating her mother.

I pretty much knew when I was 12, but didn't come out until I was 17.

Most of my family knows (the ones that care) and all of my friends know. I'm out at work, too. The majority of my co-workers are female, so that has helped tremendously. One lady made me a home made birthday card with the Golden Girls on it. If that isn't gay love, I don't know what is.

I wish I had come out sooner and got a lot more sexual experience!!

I am now in a 4 year long relationship with a man I love but do wonder what else there could of been!?

[foxyluva]

Mmm. I have known for a long time - but cannot pinpoint it. I am out to most people, but I do not feel the need to broadcast it - I will tell people if they ask. But in saying that - my best friend still doesn't know! I've known her since we were newborns - and its harder to tell the ones you are closest to. So yeah - all of my good friends know apart from my besty!

My mother knows because she asked me, she doesn't want me to tell my Dad - My mother told my grandmother, so there have been a few uncomfortable conversations taking place. My mother and grandmother both ignore the fact that I am gay, and we have not spoke about it for about a year and a half - I guess its easier for them to deal if they don't deal My brother is an idiot - because he has seen my gay newspapers and he has heard me say that a guy is hot - and still hasn't put two and two together

Wow, how dense is he? Granted, my sister can be just as dumb. For instance, I've done the same thing as you, saying something like "That guy is really hot." and my sister will just be like "YEAH he is. I'd hit that." I don't know if shes just being cool or being a blockhead

He has to know!!!! - Everybody deep down really knows, but they don't acknowledge it!!

Maybe I should just be really outright with everything, and not hide my feelings??!!

I've tried that. And when I just say absolutely everything I feel, people call me a selfish asshole. I can't winnnnn at allllll.

Im to much of a chicken to do that anyway. I've hid my feelings around my family for this long, so I guess I can continue to do so
