| hi all, i am a school student in Edmonton, oviously. i have fully known i am gay for the last two years. the denile stage almost killed me. i have been able to come out totally at school, which is lucky for me, cause not everyone can do that at their schools. i haven't yet comt out to my family, if they haven't realized it, they must be blind and def*. unfortunately, i am completely detached from the community because of my secret. i have full intention of telling them, i am just afraid of what they would think/do. so i have dedicated this topic to coming out stories. it would certainly help me to know hoe its done these days.

| hi there plunky, I fully out lesbian and i love it. When i was in the closet i was so sad and when i decide to come out it made everything so much better. I first told my mom and she took it better than i ever imagined. She had a hunch that i probably was but she just didnt want to say anything. But when i told her she was happy and supported me. I told her that i was scared to tell my dad cause he would probably never talk to me again and disown me or something. but after 3 months of going out with my ex I couldnt keep it in and i told him and all he had to say was I love you, I love you. Never forget i love you. It was kind of freaky in a way but also relieving. 2 days later he wanted to meet my ex girlfriend. Me and my ex are now broken up and my dad asked if i would still be going out with chicks and i told him that is where i am happy. I find so much peace bieng with females and he was happy that i was happy. You might be scared to tell you parents but i would definitly tell you mom first. Mothers seem to have this thing where they will help you no matter what. And if you tell your dad and he doesnt except it. yeah its going to hurt alot but you have to do what ever makes you happy. If you are happy with a guy then hell be with a guy. Only you can decide what makes you happy and what doesnt. |

| Hello All! I'm new to "Youth Understanding Youth". I just recently attend last Saturday April 17, 2005. I'm rather quite shy as you may have notice if you seen me. But I hope to become great friends with everyone soon. Here a little bit about me... I'm 19 and I am attending school at Centre High Campus. I'm inside Mr.Wagner Web Design class. I just recently started getting into Web Design, and I am enjoying it a lot. I'm still inside the closet as far as my family and friends are concerned. I just recently worked up a lot of courage and strength to come to "Youth Understanding Youth". Because I feel the need to be around people who are like me. Being in the closet can become quite lonely sometimes. I love games, movies and comics. My favorite games are usually RPG's, and I love all kinds of films, Drama, Horror, and Comedy. Comic wise I'm into Marvel, Dark Horse, and Mangas. My favorite Manga series are "Angel Sanctuary, and X/1999". Well that just the tip of the iceberg. I look forward to the Spring Dance, and meeting and chatting with everyone.
Danielus, J.W. |

| I suppose I should add some things about myself eh? I'm 20 and a recently graduated social worker from Grant MacEwan, I work in the inner city right now and have a background in addictions and mental health - and will probably be heading out to Vancouver to do the last two years of my BSW in a few months here. I have been involved with the Pride Centre for about a year and a half (though it was GLCCE still back when I started helping out) doing hosting and more recently Lloyd approached me to help out moderating the new message board. I don't know what else to add really - totally out of the closet and lovin' it for about a year now - pretty much the dirty hippie type if you ever really talk to me. welcome to the board everyone!

| hmm, about that telling your mom first thing, thats probably not a good idea. my mother is i homophobic, and my father isn't much different. Once, when my mother and I were driving down whyte, she saw a Drag Queen walking down the street, and started making fun of her. i wanted to intervine* but i didn't want to give her any ideas. Anyway, the thing is, this summer I want to go to this camp called FyreFly, that is apparently G/L camp. however, the chances of them not realizing its a Queer camp are small. by the way, does anyone know about the FyreFly camp? i suppose I will figure it out, i mean, all of you did... arg, so distressed!!

Hey everyone! this is an awfully quiet forum, heh.
I'm Mandy... 18 years old, just graduated from high school and registered at Grant MacEwan *squee* ... coming out, eh?
I'm a semi-out lesbian. My mother knows, but I think she might be in denial even though she's so supportive and... enthusiastic/encouraging. Most of my family has always been extremely open minded about sexuality and what not, which makes things abit easier... Eh, I came out as bisexual when I was younger -grade 6ish- because, really, people tend to accept bisexuality more than they tend to accept homosexuality. Recently came out as a lesbian and like I said, my mother was okay with it... friend's weren't. Some still aren't.
Oh. I did attend some YUY meetings about a year ago but then I stopped going, because I didn't know anyone... and now i'm regretting that I stopped.
Wanting to attend some Pride Week activities... But i'm horrible when it comes to meeting new people, heh.
Other stuff... hmm. Grant MacEwan! *puffs up with pride* I have been accepted into the Holistic Health program for the Fall... But my main goal is to get accepted into the Acupuncture program [*sigh* 2 years to go!]... I'm a huge anime/manga freak... cat lurver, dr. pepper drinker, swimmer, and... bookworm.
Anyways *shifty eyes* I hope I didn't ramble too much...
And hopefully will talk to everyone later!
*throws confetti*

| 'Firstly', thanks for helping me activate this account  I read that you went to GM in your previous post; Social work and "addictions and mental health" - very impressive. My cousin has had... a lot of social workers, it seems like it could be a very challenging career.. emotionally, I mean.
Eh, didn't make it to the flag raising or the parade due to the icky weather, but I hope to catch some other events later on. [posted in "PRIDE anyone?" topic]
