Slowly but surely I am creeping out of the hole that I dug for myself. A few days ago, I "came out" to a friend of mine from High School, a process I started and completed through Instant Messaging.
It was actually rather funny; she wouldn't really believe me at first, thinking I was joking, so it was suggested that she take a look at this site. Well, I waited around for a couple minutes, wondering how she'd take it. I mean, I was pretty sure she'd be fine with it - you know, not over-react - but I couldn't help but be a wee bit apprehensive for this was the first time I had done such a thing.
So, after awhile, she re-appeared and wrote "Nice Poems." And that makes one person back home that knows. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now but I must say that this is starting to feel a whole lot better and I just thought I'd share a few words of cheer with you guys.
That's if for now. Toodloo.

Tell only those whom you want to know. And it becomes easier each time. I have told severl old friends via AIM, for example. One knew when I was 18. Just never cared. No bad experiences yet.
Just be gentle. This is part of a process of becoming who you are

Coming out, hmmmmm now there's a thing to consider with much reflection. Some say the earlier the better, others say wait and see....
Which is better? No one really knows, because everyones personal situation is different. Only the closited individual knows their own family and circle of friends and aquaintences.
A few metafores and I'll be done....
First, it is impossible to unring a bell.
Second, Only your heart can judge those you chose to share this part of you with.
Thirdly, It only just keeps getting easier, each and every time that bell is rung, it's tone is a bit clearer.
Fourth, Always hope for the best possible response, but ever be prepared for the worse.
Personally I have always been upfront about myself. It was my choice.
Don't ever let friends in the real world nor here either give you a sense of false courage. That my young cinematographer must come from within you and you alone. It is after all your life.
We can hold your hand, but not wear your shoes.
I hope this made a bit of sense.....
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

My experience was simialer.
I can only reccomend to do it slowly.
It took me 1 year to get the courage to tell my best friend, (Kamile)
and after that, it was easier and easier. But take it slowly, and make sure that when (if) you're ready to be more out and open about it, that you really are ready.
You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me
