Coming Out of the Closet

My mother doesn't seem to mind the idea, but when my father was informed that I might kind of like guys he just shook his head in disappointment and said something along the lines of Wow... a gay son. Which is odd, because I'm not even gay...

My coming out went pretty well. The followup is what killed me though. Make sure you keep talking to your friends and family, and don't try to do everything on your own.

Huh...I didn't know that Ironeye was bi.

You can carry on.

Ever since I came out to myself I haven't needed to come out to anyone; my habit of relentlessly hitting on large numbers of people of all genders and sexes speaks for itself.

The one probelm: My family. I can't tell any member of my family; my grandfather because he'd disown me and (call me shallow) I fucking need my inheritance, my mum and uncle Rock because they're very religious, etc etc.

WHAT ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE DOING IN MY CLOSET?

I told mother outright. I didn't confuse her.

Realised I was Bi about a month ago. I've told no-one in my actual life, any friends who see this topic I know would confront me about it before they say anything to anyone else, and I trust the people on here enough to feel comfortable saying it. Bugger if I know why, but I guess anonymity has a profound effect on people. It helps when you can just click a button and vanish forever;

Legionairre: You can do that in Real Life, too, it's called witness protection.

I already left my life behind once. I can't imagine doing it a second time.

It was probably this place that spurred me to realise it actually. That and my best friend being Bi. And one of my other friends being gay. It helps when you realise that having different preferences doesn't make them different people and holy fuck was I immature I might have actually thought that it did at one point.

Also, FOR FUCK'S SAKE, LEGIONNAIRE! WHY CAN NOBODY UNDERSTAND THIS!?

Legion: The same reason people think my name is Diammones. Or Diammonnes. Or Diamoness. When we chose names, we chose Awesome, but Impractical.

No, I chose my name because "Legion" was already taken.

It's okay Leggy. We understand.

Leegy.

Why can't I call you that?

Because I could find where you live and persuade you otherwise.

I never said you can't call me that! You can't prove I did!

Anyway, currently wondering whether I'm straight or bisexual. I'm sure at least a few of you are sick of hearing me say this all day...

Go with bisexual. We have more fun.

Yeah, my main deciding factor is most likely gonna be which sexuality I'd be happier with...

Still not exactly sure though.

I thought you decided you were asexual, Fusch.

Um, no. When did I ever say that?

I have no idea. Somebody did - it mustn't have been you, though. Who was it...

I like women. Now there's an awkward conversation.

"I like women!"

"Congratulations! You're a nice, healthy, normal heterosexual boy!"

".... Yeah, about that."

Ah, now I remember. Never mind, indeed Had you confused with somebody else.

I'm asexual, but not averse to pleasuring a partner. Apparently, that gets people confused.

Who wants to hide in a closet anyway, what with all those nasty skeletons in them.
