I've been out to most if not all my family and friends since October'ish 2008. Ever since then I found the best man I could have ever dreamed of but I hadn't told my grandmother yet. It felt such an annoyance to have to "come out" again, but I owed her that and much more. Anyway, my mother set a kind of trap for me: We were talking randomly around the kitchen and she suddenly said "Well, your grandson has to tell you something!" And I did. Man it felt great when she responded so naturally and hugging me and kissing me. She's one of the most important people in my life and she's so very eager to meet my fiancé. She met him as a "friend", so it will be a lot more different.
It makes me really proud of her and the rest of my family and I'm really happy that I'm surrounded by such great people that make my fiancé and I welcome and comfortable (we bring the happiness!).

As if I needed any more evidence that time is going by waaay too quickly, I found out today that the son of some friends back in NY - a kid who I can remember being so tiny and drooling and clomping around in his muddy Oshkosh overalls - came out and is going to be moving to NYC with his boyfriend, who happens to be another kid/frequent Pokemon-buyer I remember from my days working at Electronics Boutique.

It just makes my head spin... I'm so hopelessly behind and missed out on so much shit when I was young.

 

[ZephyrFate]

I'm ba-bumping this for the juniors in case anyone new is having trouble coming out/just came out.

Haha. Yea I saw that. I didn't know there was two threads for the gay/bisexual community. At least it saves me from double posting.

[aepokh]

Hooboy... where to start.

Not sure if I'm gay/bi/pan/whatever. To start with, I am male in both sex and gender.

I would be fine with having sexual relations with whomever. Man, woman, pre- or post-op transperson, whatever's fine. Doesn't matter much to me, as long as I love them, as I feel that sex should be reserved as an expression of love. Pansexual?

But, I am only attracted to females, sexually speaking. Sex with a guy wouldn't repulse me, but I'm not attracted to men. Heterosexual?

The only person in whom I've ever had romantic interest is male. He's straight and he's dating the girl he wants to marry and it's all very tragic for me etcetera etcetera and I'm over it etcetera etcetera but it stands that I've only ever had romantic interest in another male, and that romantic interest was very, very strong. Homosexual? Or have I just not lived long enough to tell what sexes I might potentially have romantic interest?

Furthermore, the only non-straight porn I can really enjoy is furry, whatever that means. I'm no zoophile, but if I can yank it to a cat-guy with a big dick but not a regular guy, something's messed up. (Don't judge me!) Does this mean anything?

I'd be quick to adopt any of these terms to describe myself, if I fit neatly into any of them. What I know is that I'm not perfectly straight, but I can't accurately come out until I know what to come out as. A couple of times I've described myself simply as bisexual, but I don't think that's quite accurate.

So, could someone please help me determine if there exists a category for me, if there isn't, or (having possibly not fully matured, being only seventeen years old) if I might just be on my way into one of these categories?

 

[ZephyrFate]

Give yourself some time. Many people don't really know what they are sexually until they get into their 20s. You're still young. I'm not sure how to fit you into a category, either, but I think you shouldn't focus on that. Categories are becoming a thing of the past, kind of.

Categories suck. They only limit you and how others see you. Just try and keep focussed on what you feel is true about you, rather than trying to fit some arbitrary category. If at some later time you do feel like a category is a quick and simple way to explain your sexual life to someone you care about, go for it, but don't feel you have to belong to a category. In my experience that is what causes the second most misery amongst people questioning their sexuality.

 

[Ezduo]

I was discussing the idea of sexual identity with a therapist in a LGBT group I found recently and she described it as an essay question as opposed to multiple choice. You might be a little bit of this, little bit of that. Trying to force yourself into any one category might not be the healthiest thing to do. If you feel comfortable labeling yourself as something go ahead but it's fine to leave yourself without one until you figure things out like I'm doing. Like I'm still sexually attracted to women but recently I've found myself wanting to perform oral sex on men. I'm still not comfortable getting that much more intimate with a man yet so I'm in this sort of gray area between straight and bisexual which is fine for now. It's all a matter of experience really and I'm sure as time goes on you'll figure out just what exactly is going on.

 

[Dr. Malik]

Well... I'm bi, but haven't come out yet and don't even think its worth coming out until I can support myself and stop relying on my parents.

 

[Stylo]

Well how do I go about this?

I've been thinking about the possibility of being bi-sexual lately but I don't think I am; Maybe you guys can help me figure this out?

-I've only been physically and emotionally attracted to females and thus get nervous around girls that I really like.
-Only check out girls.

Those things would indicate I'm straight no? Well, the reason for my inquiry over bi-sexuality is due to sporadic moments where I imagine myself in homo-erotic scenarios. I just enjoy the thoughts sometime but I find other dudes' johnnies repulsive. It happens very rarely. On some days I prefer gay porn over straight porn. People tend to ask if I'm gay at one point or another (which gets annoying).

I think that I'm just going through a phase because

Spoiler

I'm a virgin

so any hole is a worthwhile hole I guess? I don't know what to make of the situation. If age is an important factor in answering this, I'm 19.

Homoerotic thoughts are very, very common for any person, is just that not many have the guts to admit them, that alone doesn't make you gay. I always say is more about who you fall in love with, not who do you want to have sex with.

Honestly, there's only one way to find out for sure either way - experiment. Don't fret about it; just go with what feels natural.

Perhaps, as you're a virgin and you're definitely aware you like girls, you'll want your first time to be a girl, just to make the losing virginity ordeal easier. But honestly, just go with what comes up that you want (or think you want). Start dating people! Find out. It's fun if you're open minded and not prone to insecurity.

I think this is one of the few forums on the internet, that isn't centered around being gay, but still strongly accepting of gays. It's kinda beautiful :3

Not to try and cause any offence or attack GAF members, but in large part this is due to the account policy and strict, zero-tolerance moderation. When you have the user base, in sheer numerical terms, that GAF has, there will be disgusting homophobes, just as there will be crazed racists and misogynist arseholes et cetera. These people just tend to keep their mouths shut as they value their accounts. GAF could be considered an interesting social experiment as to whether complete free speech (US-style) is really conducive to community cohesion.

Nah, this one's funnier because it gets to the root of the anti-gay-marriage problem.

 

[Dr. Malik]

So Gaf, I don't know what has come over me, but I have been really depress the past couple of days and it has usually sprouts from the fear of coming out and since it has stopped me from enjoying my days I have decided that its time. I already ask my friends to meet me tomorrow so I can tell them and I am in the process of gathering my siblings for a lunch. I figured it will be easier to tell them in a public place that way they wont cause a scene. I'm not going to tell my parents just yet(religious folk, etc). But right now I am shaking in my boots, a side of me keeps thinking I am forever going to regret this while my 'heart' feels that's just fear and I should face it. I knew this wasn't going to be easy but damn does it overwhelming and I guess life changing.

 

[ZephyrFate]

Do it like ripping off a bandaid. The only way you can be sure.

 

[_Isaac]

Being nervous is perfectly natural. You didn't say much about your friends and siblings, but young folk like them tend to take it fine. You'll feel fine right after. It's usually parents that freak out, so you should save your panic for that coming out story. Yikes.

Well most of my siblings are older than me, I would describe them as conservatives and since we come from Mexico the guys have that macho lets get drunk and talk about girls attitude. I'm also afraid that one of them will spill the beans to my parents. My friends, I'm positive they will understand so mostly I'm using them as practice to utter the right words.

How long ago did you move from Mexico? I don't know how that's relevant. I was just asking. So it seems like telling your friends will be no problem. Who knows about your siblings though. You say they're conservative, but what have they said regarding gay people or gay issues? I'm sure the subject has come up once or twice in the family. I'm also wondering why you want to tell your siblings. You say they might spill the beans. Does that mean they're generally untrustworthy? If so, then maybe you should postpone it a bit until the thought of your parents finding out doesn't seem so scary.

I just mention Mexico to paint a picture of their background, not in a negative way. Regarding gay people I will say most are ok towards them but I'm sure they don't understand were they are coming from (born this way vs lifestyle/religion, etc). I do trust them that's why I would like to tell them first to sort of build support for when I tell my parents instead of facing them alone. I'm just going through every scenario of what might occur after out of fear.

just as a general shoutout we do have a Skype chat going (forever) still that houses some of gaygaf and if you need help coming out or dealing with these issues it's a good place to chat and get help/advice

Hey there guys-

I'm 22, and ever since High School Ive pretty much known I was bi. Although I tend to favor more towards guys, at first I was... I guess both embarrassed and scared about it. Haha.. seems so silly now. Anyway, the past few years Ive really come to accepting that I am bisexual, and just last night I told my close friend.

I knew he'd be perfectly fine with it, in my own group of friends one of them came out back in High School, and everyone was perfectly fine with it. Its really great to have very understanding friends, although I just wanted this one friend to know.. Right now anyway. Telling him last night was like taking a giant boulder off my chest, I never really felt that comfortable about this before. My friend asked me when Im going to tell my Dad, and that pretty much put that boulder right back on haha.

Ive lived with just my Dad since I was 3, its a long story with my Mom, health issues etc. She's been gone since I was 3, so its always been me and Dad... I'm still living with him as I finish school. I know from just random conversations we have had about different sexual orientations that he's cool with it, and he's perfectly fine with people living the way they want to. Which is really cool of him, because about pretty much everything else he's very conservative.

So all day today Ive been going back and forth about whether or not I should tell him.. I mean.. I know I want to.. But holy shit I'm nervous! I know (at least I'm pretty sure I know) that he's cool with someone being gay... but I just have no idea how he will react to me, his only son, saying he's bi. I keep thinking he'd run me out of the house (which I'm sure he would never do, I'm sure he didn't want all that work raising me alone to be in vain).... I guess what I'm most afraid of is having this "awkwardness" over the house, things becoming something different.

I really want to tell him, but I cant get myself to do it. ughghghhg

Ive gone on for far too long... I just need to sleep on it again I guess.

 

[Suairyu]

Go to bed.

Then tell him tomorrow.

Have a friend on backup to hang out/crash with if things feel awkward afterwards.

I'm sure he'll be fine with it.

Good luck!

In my experience, parents most often already know deep down. And the bolded could be an important door opener for you. He may know, and could have expressed those feelings so you knew you were safe.

Keep that in mind.

 

[Sibylus]

In my experience, parents most often already know deep down.

In my own case, I can't tell if this would be a good or bad thing. Both of my parents are fundamentalist Christians, the sort that would fit in perfectly at a Bible Belt church or a Kent Hovind seminar. So on the one hand, they'll be disappointed, angry, or scared no matter what, but on the other hand, suspicion might lessen the severity of that.

Anyway, I think my Mom suspects. The way she occasionally segues conversations into oddly-specific-yet-mostly-unrelated waters, or how she probes beyond the bounds of a discussion with personal inquiries, that sort of stuff just puts me on edge. It smells a little too... "investigational".

[Dr. Malik]

So I came out to my brothers and sisters yesterday and boy was it hard. I had written a small speech beforehand to organize my thoughts but I couldn't even finish the first sentence before I started crying. Right immediately my sister hugged me from behind telling me not to worry about it. As I kept uttering words I saw my other sister nodding to one of my brothers in a 'i knew it/ told you' kind of way. That sort of helped me finish what I wanted to say knowing they had suspected already. Once I finished my brother came up to me and hugged me for a good 1-2 minutes, I could feel he was disappointed but was ready to accept me for who I am. Mostly everyone had tears in their eyes but the setting was perfect, I decided to do it in a park so it will feel more 'natural' that way.

After the tears were gone, everyone was just cracking jokes and being friendly. I couldn't partake because my stomach starting hurting with a pain I had never felt before, it was mixture of anxiety/nervousness and hunger.

But I am glad that's over with, I am not telling my parents though until I am very well on my own.

Congrats dude! And just think, when you've told your parents you can start wearing skin tight shirts and leather pants in public! Incentive!

Thanks everyone, I still have a more people to tell, mostly college friends and my future roommate(I'm going to tell him after we sign the lease. I already roomed with him a year so it shouldn't be a problem but just incase). But I'm happy with my good fortune

Your situation was similar to mine when I told my older brothers. I just started crying and crying, and my oldest came up to me first and just hugged me and rubbing my back. I could tell my other brother was shocked/awkward by it, but he eventually came to terms almost immediately and hugged me as well. However...my mom was there too. I told all three of them at the same time which was the hardest thing to do ever. My mom wasn't repulsed at all thankfully. She instead told me that it's a new thing for her and it'll be a few days for her to get used to it. The next day i was cooking breakfast for them and my mom came up to me, hugged me, and assured to me that nothing changes. She then went on to joke that i should design clothes for her -___- lol

anaron, add someone who's in the chat (such as myself) and they'll be able to invite you.

Skype id is gaf-botolf

You mean you haven't accidentally left a Playstation MOVE on your bed by accident and causing them to go "Botolf, WTH is this strange dildo? And why does it light up?"

More probably they'd guess that it would be a back-scratcher or something

Agreed, my name is much easier to spell and pronounce ;p

But I am glad that's over with, I am not telling my parents though until I am very well on my own.

Good job, man

I'm planning on the very same. All my sisters have known since last year, but I'm waiting to tell my parents.
