And a great big smile on my face.
Like Tom, my friend was so brave tonight. And my greatest wish for him came true.
My friend took a giant step, and all went well. I will not give details or names, if he wants to share that he may. I let him know about where to see this post, in case he wants to reply.
My only regret is that I could not throw my arms around him to give him a great big hug, and squeeze the stuffing right out of him. (He lives a few hours away)
I am so proud of you. Be proud of yourself, you've earned it.
All my love,
Kevin

Yes, and this will be a defining, or better termed milestone event in his life as well.
A JOB VERY WELL DONE.

Timmy, i so wanted you to be the first to know of what happened.
For those of you who don't know, i've been wanting to tell my friend that i'm gay for a few weeks, and tonight i did it. I was so scared that i was shaking. As soon as i was done, he said he's been trying to find a way to ask me for a while.
He was great, calm, caring, just like i knew he would be. He said that nothing has to change, and he wouldn't tell anyone. We sat there for a while talking, and he then told me that if i wanted, some time, he would go to a bar that holds a gay night with me. (isn't he great?)
A little note: I wouldn't have been able to do it without my friends that i have met here in A Place of Safety. no names mentioned.
ah heck, thanks warren, kevin, timmer, and timmy. Your great friends to have around.
thanks
Brian

You found your own courage. You say it was down to us ehere, but it was not.
The decision was made already. You took it years ago to tell someone. All you did was found other people who are about to be, are at present, or have already been in the same position and found out something rather odd.
It is unbelievable, isn't it, that coming out to someone is an anti-climax?
You see, unless they are total jerks, we just matter as friends. And our sexuality is such a tiny part of who we are, that they don't actually care.
This was your courage. No-one gave it to you. You had it all the time. Perhaps the past weighed too heavily in you like it does on all of us who are older, here.

I am so happy to hear the news. I once had the unenviable task of telling someone that I was gay and that I had feelings for him. Before he could thump me, I ran out on him and burst into tears, knowing that I had lost a really special friend. How wrong I was. He followed me out, told me he felt the same and we've been together ever since.
I am so proud of you.

Good for you. It's great to have a friend to talk to - maybe you can both learn from each other as well.
