    i have always been lucky enough to be surrounded by people who have accepted me for who I am (a big ol’ dyke). But even when I KNEW that my friends and family would be totally fine with it, I told a few people who werent necessarily my closest friends/relatives but who I trusted implicitly…just in case that 1% fear came true and my friends/family really did react poorly, I’d know I had someone to turn to.

    Turns out they all twigged before I did, so, y’know, there’s that.

    Rhanka for being a good egg for your friend’s kids.

      I had a mate in high school who came out to us at graduation.

      Out group’s reaction was along the lines of ‘no shit dude’ ’ we knew and wondered how long it would take you’ and of course ‘if you need a place to crash we have a spare room’

      We were so happy that he finally was able to be who he always was.

      It wasn’t a big thing for us but a massive event for him. He was also from a very conservative Catholic family/culture which made it very hard on him.

      Being there for our kids’friends is just the most natural thing. A warm meal, roof and a sympathetic shoulder is the least we can do.
