How many of us are 'out of the closet'?Results?

[toy!]

Unfortunately, I'm not. I'd like to be, but between my partners' fear of negative reactions and my own fear of my parents' reactions... yeah. The "out" remains very small so far.

Parents or not, I'd still be happier being open and honest with people, but I do need to respect my partners' wishes.

awwwww, thats too bad dizzylia (((huggs)))

hope u can figger a way to be "out" at least sometime

It'll work out eventually. Or... I might just move on. No one ever said life was fair, and I'm definitely the odd one out in this relationship. Which is okay, but only for a little while.

Dizzylia, your girlfriend just needs to get over her fears. Yeah, some poeple may not like her for being gay but society is open enough now that you can be completely open about your sexuality and still have plenty of friends who will treat you just like any other human being.

I'm an openly gay man in Tennessee and most people I know treat me with respect. Also, unless you are super-duper butch, people tend to pass less judgement on women who are gay/bi than men.

If it were just the three of us, there would be no problem, but my partners have two kids. My girlfriend is worried that if we came out about our relationship, an overly "concerned" relative or school board member might take offense and make issues with the children's "well being".

Tell me about that one SO not fair sometimes!

 

[DarkAurora]

Oh, I didn't know you were in a 3-way relationship. I would say having a lesbian relationship isn't enough for your partner to have her children taken away but having a 3-way relationship may be.

 

[Haine]

oh wow O_O

Dark Aurora, i love your avatar.

 

[CuriousNiceGuy]

Hmmm...How old are the kids?They are young so they probably don't know anything about the mother's sexuality huh?

Btw, how can you manage a 3-way relationship?must be tireful ^_^

DarkAurora I like your avatar too.Picked it from random porn pics?

Which is actually encouraging in a way. It's nice that people won't totally flip out anymore because of same sex partners raising children. More than two partners still crosses the PC's "deviant" line, though.


Of course, maybe it should...

Kidding! Just kidding.

Mostly.

They know we sleep in the same room, but their knowledge still stops there. But for how long? Kids are pretty dang smart.


And it is tiring, to be honest. Sometimes in good ways, but... not always. It's probably not for everyone.

I'm bisexual. My family doesn't know, but most of my friends do. I have a boyfriend I'm living with so it doesn't come up with my parents. If I was in a relationship with a girl, I think I would have to say something.

[BDisaster]

mistress you're story made me smile. I hope that one day i can have that kind of relationship with my mom. for now i have to keep it a secret since my twin just came out and my mom flipped a shit...what can i say, my sister beat me to it!

 

[CuriousNiceGuy]

REally your story was a comforting one I wish all homophobic people would at least start to change and realise things.Like your mother.
Lol, she calls you her little pornstar?
Kinda..sweet?

Anyway, as for BDisaster..Omg, twins and homosexuals?
It really isn;t a myth that twins tend to have similar behaviours XD

 

[CuriousNiceGuy]

..Over the last days I always think about coming out..
But I'm held back by the fact that I don't have a job to at least secure my financials..
Also..As I'm going to university, by finding a job would dramatically screw up my time, and so my personal life and studies too..

Today I bought a magazine that's called 'FREE' and inside there was an issue about a gay editor that came out some time ago.It was reassuring mostly, but it also had the routine scenario of angry parents, boy leaving the house for some time and lastly parents accepting him back with open arms..It was like a sign telling me to come out..

I would really like my parents to know..but you never know what reaction you might get..dammit..

Pretty much everybody I know is aware that I'm a big ol' queer dyke. Only a handful of people, though, know that I'm poly. It's just more than I'm comfortable explaining to most people (including my parents).

Poly? As in polyamorous?

You mean, you can fall in love with both genders ? And love them for who they are ?

No, poly is short for polyamorous - having more than one lover. I have two ongoing long-term relationships, but most people don't know about the secondary one.

Thank you for the explanation.

And either way, you are a pretty woman
