Hope that everyone that celebrates july 4th had a good one. The GF and I went camping and it was absolutely one of the best experiences I have had in quite some time. My kind of vacation. One with nature! More to come about our loooong weekend and pictures to share of course.
On a completely different note. We all know by now, that I am mid-coming out. I have told half my family, all my close friends, all of those that I see on normal basis, random strangers etc....
I haven't told the group of girls that I am not close with these days, but used to spend all my time with. They were the ones that I grew up with, lived down the street from, and still have a really good time with when we get together once a year.
I only see them once a year and correspond with them maybe 2 or 3 times a year. We are having our annual get together at the end of this month. I just got the email reminding us of the upcoming weekend river get away. Last year I was really uncomfortable because everyone kept asking me if I had a significant other and I said no....which was a lie.
I have struggled with telling this group because their mom's are friends with my mom. And boy does that group love to gossip. I was worried that it might get back to my mom.
I think I am over that though. I hope someone tells her. I just want to let the cat out of the bag, crawl in a hole and come back out when all the shock and awe is over.
I think I am going to email them back and tell them I will bring some beer and a hummus plate for the weekend, and oh, by the way, I'm gay....

Oooh, you go girl! You have to let us know how it all turns out. :)
ReplyDeleteGo for it!
ReplyDeleteThis never ceases to amaze me of that we (gays) have to do, over and over and over again but I've found that my life is so much better being out than living the lie.
ReplyDeleteSo I take it that you haven't told your Mom yet or is it that you're worried that your Mom is going to hear your name in the gossip mill?
Which ever it is, always be proud of who you are and don't let anyone take your happy away.
I say bite the bullet and tell mom. She may be less upset hearing it directly from you instead of hearing about it through gossip. Just my 2 cents. You know your mom better than I do.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun time and try not to stress too much.
You can do it...I've always said being gay it seems like we have to come out over and over.
ReplyDeleteBut being 'out' is wayyyyy better than being 'in'. You will see that.
Good luck.
I sent the email...just now...it gets easier every time....
ReplyDeletewill let you know the outcome!
Thanks for all of your support and advice!
