I have known I'm gay for quite some time now, but have not come out mostly on account of my parents. I think they at least deserve to hear it from me personaly and not hear about their son being gay from anyone else. The problem is I don't know how they will take it and I don't mean I think they'll react badly but I mean I have no clue at all!. I have been walking around with this knowledge since I was 13 (a little more then 6 years now) and I could not keep to myself any longer but then I once more thought of my parents getting wind of this and could not bring myself to take any action. But then I started attending a university across the country and made some friends there. I then decided to try and come out to my new best friend there and so I did, now S is a good guy but kind of homophobic and pretty biased about gays, I changed that part about him he now admits. But as they you can take an animal out of the wild but you can't take the wild out of the animal and so although we remain great friends this is not somthing I can talk to him about. I understood then that I need someone who knows me a lot better and so came out to my best friend back home. Well, he took it very well and we started to have really deep conversations and I started to feel like I can truly be myself around at least someone, be "normal". But now that I know that feeling of "normality" I want to feel it everywhere but I know I have to be carefull and not rush anything and so I try. Now I'm getting to the point of this long message, this friday I told my oldest sister about me. At first she thought I was kidding and when she understood I wasn't she looked kinda shocked and so we sat down and talked for a while and she understood and accepted it and me. she then started to cry a bit and when I asked why she told me how happy she is that we're getting closer like she always wanted to. All this made me feel really good and so I wanted to share this with you guys who also always make me feel good or at least better. I am still going to come out little by little over time to friends and hopefully family once I feel good enough about it and the ... the world is min hahahahahahahahahah... :0)
I guess I really needed to share this with people who will understand...hopefully.
Feel free to respond or ask questions or just ignor I'll be just a happy to answer or to know that you just read it and know me a little better.

Lot of happiness to all,
Gil
