Hi, I'm jhazline from Jersey City. I'll tell you a story of a friend of mine. He is Gabby, he is also a gay like you, when he was he kid he already realized that he was a gay. When we are in high school that was the time he discussed it to us. He said he is tired of hiding his true identity, it's killing him. We are shocked of his confession at first but we tell him that no matter what he is still our friend and we are glad that he tell us about it. The next step is he tell it to the whole world and he is proud of himself. And we are too. I hope you do the same.
Or else you'll suffer it the rest of your life.

Hey Plunky,

First, good for you for committing to take steps forward -- it's important that you take care of yourself and are confident with who you are as you branch out and start talking with others -- so congrats on your first victory!

It sounds like coming out to your parents will be a huge milestone for you -- but take your time and do it when you feel ready -- and that doesn't need to be right away.  In the meantime, maybe you could keep accessing resources (i.e. the Pride Centre, guidance counselling, good friends) and surround yourself with a positive network of people who can offer you support and sounding boards as you continue on your journey.  If you want some advice on your process -- I would say to pay attention to what you need, acknowledge all the progress you are making (no matter how small it may seem), and be patient with yourself and others. 

I don't know your parents, so I can't offer you any real help with them.  I do know, though, that sometimes people can surprise you with their reactions -- good and bad.  Remember that you are not just a drag queen on Whyte to your mother -- you are also her child -- so her reaction may be different.

Camp Fyrefly is cool and I know a couple people who have really enjoyed the experience.  Maybe check out their website (http://www.fyrefly.ualberta.ca/) for more information and contact them for advice on your particular situation.  If you won't be able to attend the camp this year, maybe they could provide you with some resources you haven't thought of yet, or even connect you with camp participants.

Anyway, good luck and congrats on the courage that you have already shown.  You can do it!

=)

Hey comming out guy

 Really all I can say is be yourself,  I am 45 yrs old now, and basically happy,my family and friends knew befor I told them.Maybe easier for me becouse I have a gay uncle and a few bi male cousins,. I knew I liked men growing up from young whenever I had the chance to see one of my male family members naked I loved it, and when I was 16 worked for my gay uncle as his helper doing renovations, we worked late and on the way back to his place he said he needed a steam, asked if I wanted to go, I asked what it was he said a steam bath place for men only,I said ya, it was the old Georgia Bath house here in Edm.there were about 30 guys there, my uncle knew them all watch guys massage ,sitting next to my uncle a buddy of his offered him a massage so my uncle layed back, I was so turned on , watched my uncle get his backmassaged then turn over and his buddy massaged his front cock -balls the works.I'm sure you can imagin what else happened,.

 I lost no friends or family and I get to be me!!
