When did you come out?

[redrose]

i don't really know how did i come out? i consider myself not out but i just can't explain. those people that truly loves me and knows me including my family and a very few circle of friends, knows that i am femme. i never tell that to them face to face but i did not even hide it from them, they just know and feel, and they accepted me and love me more. so when the time comes, i met my butch, there were no questions asked. we were accepted by my family and by her family. when she was sick, my family was with me, my mother would cooked food so i can bring that to her and my sister was with me when my butch was confined in icu, my brother would call me from time to time. When she die, my family was also with me, my mother did come in my butch's wake and funeral. my butch's family is still very attached with me. I think am talkin too much. lol!

i really don't know what coming out means, i did not come out but i did not hide the true me. it's a WHAT YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET thing. and i feel all the love, support and respect from the people that matters to me.

When I was in the first grade, and my guy friends had girlfriends, I didnt understand why none of the girls wanted to be my girlfiend.
The first time I told someone, I was 26.
Since I am butch, I think everybody knew anyway!! LoL

when i was a sophmore in high school. i was dating rome overmeyer...and i slept with my spanish teacher...well she was actually a student teacher. when i broke the news to rome he said his mom thought i was gay(she was a lesbian)...it all worked out, i got an A in spanish and rome and i became good friends. he was very supportive, and so was my family.

I think the very first time I came out to anyone...Was to my brother, we were sitting on the top of a basketball Goal backboard, it was night, and yeah we were being evil lil peeping toms...
Keep in mind, I was 13, he was 11...
I'm not sure what I said, when he had this baffled dumb glance and said "I don't get it, you're a girl, how can u like other girls boobs?', took me a moment and I shrugged sayin 'I just do, always did like girls, if u like 'em why can't i?'
He shrugged and we proceeded to make stupid noises, and got shooed off the Court...

Years later, I was about 17-ish after I figured he totally forgot, I sat on his bed, tried refreshing his memory and after getting tired of the blank stare, I came out...again...He said "I always figured it was a phase, maybe u just haven't met the right guy?"
I shook my head telling him there's no way I'd be with a guy, there's no attraction, no inclination nothing that feels the way I do deep inside when with an intelligent beautiful gal, to this day he continues to hold to his bet that I'll find the "perfect Man" -snort-
Couple days later, I came out to my mother after she poked n prodded cuz I wasn't eating, or sleeping well....
After 2 years of really ugly spats, she and I sat down and she said "It wasn't so much the fact you are a lesbian, but rather, all those years...and those fake boyfriends u brought to me, it was the Lying that hurt me the most..I was raised a certain way, give me time, for now I'm just..tolerating this."
Our rel. has improved since then though....
Granted, Everyone else in the very big...Family spectrum found out thanks to my brothers big-ass mouth....
After my uncle called and told me my father was on the first plane to Puerto Rico to find out for himself, I slammed his ass to the wall and told him "dont ever think I will trust u again, especially if this goes really bad for me"....
And it did...-shrug-
