Happy Coming Out Day!

[Glenn.]

To the gays of TiBB!

How long has it been since you came out?

[Josiah.]

It’s been about 11 years since I first came out. It’s been 7 years since I came out to my parents.

[Jessica.]

Congratulations gays!

[Benjamin]

Happy gay day!

I came out at 17, so 23 years ago :laugh:

[GoldGlitter]

I regret coming out so young. Society treats you much better when you're perceived as being straight.

[Oliver_W]

I can't remember "officially" coming out - I wasn't really in a Glass Closet or anything, but it seems like it went from only me knowing, to everyone knowing. But it was somewhere in mid secondary school.

I suppose it didn't leave much impression in my memory was because there wasn't much reaction, no-one cares :laugh:

[Barry.]

I don’t know how to come out. I’m technically a gay asexual so it’s a strange one to come out as lol

Tell people you're a "Side", manage dating expectations from the off? See if there are any asexual dating sites?

Edit - you didn't ask for dating advice, oop! :joker:

lol no, I don’t think I’d be into dating though, like I’m happy being single and if I add someone to that I just think it would be messy

I'm on the ace spectrum too but I never really talk about it off the internet, people don't understand but I'm just happy I understand myself because I didn't for years.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking, they wouldn’t understand. I mean my friends know but they are my age. Might be different from an older persons understanding

[Nicky91]

Happy LGBTQ+ Day :love:

[Abra]

I think it depends on your environment. I can honestly say that hasn't been my experience. Of course you get the occasional dickhead, but overall I would say most people have largely been positive when they find out I'm gay and it's quite rare that I encounter someone being homophobic towards me.

[Mitchell]

13 since my initial coming out, 3 since my asexuality awakening

[Ammi]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking, they wouldn’t understand. I mean my friends know but they are my age. Might be different from an older persons understanding

…but then, would it be good to give them that opportunity of showing their understanding/beginning it…obviously it’s all completely your call and judgement, Barry because you know your family circle more than anyone…

[Ammi]

…I think it was yesterday…?…but Happy Day all…:love:…

Nobody needs to know the full details, unless you want them to. When you’re ready to share with the world
you will. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself feeling like you must tell everyone or what you need to tell them. :love:

[UserSince2005]

I’ve got something I want to share with you all. It time for me to be honest about who I really am.

Congratulations on admitting your poor and live in a council flat

Haha girl I could never lower myself to that poverty, I’d rather commit sucide.

No, I’m gaaaaaaaaay!!!!

Too much time in Morocco is your problem

I read in the Daily Mail that can happen

Happened to Dale Winton and Gary Linekar too

[Mystic Mock]

Congratulations guys.

I don't know what else to say really.:laugh:

But I'm happy for you guys.

I have been to Morocco twice.
Maybe that’s what changed me.
Or maybe I just like to destroy muscle ass.

[Beso]

Bump..


For a marcello comparison.

[Cherie]

Is there a Hallmark card for the occasion :laugh:

Which one are you in the pic.

[ThomasC]

I came out when I was about 21

I remember sucking my first willy. He's a minger now, but it actually happened on my 21st birthday!!!

And I think I came out around then.

[Glenn.]

Is there a Hallmark card for the occasion :laugh:

For coming out? Yes. Not sure what’s funny about that

[Cherie]

For coming out? Yes. Not sure what’s funny about that

just a general enquiry, given there is a Hallmark card for everything :laugh:....? for most people I am sure coming out is a joyous occasion

[ThomasC]

Actually the opposite initially

[Cherie]

Actually the opposite initially

why, surely if you feel confident enough to come out then its a relief? and in general people probably knew for ages at any rate

[ThomasC]

Yes, after most likely.

It can be very scary

[Oliver_W]

"Congrats on who you're attracted to" is a bit of a weird and pointless thing to celebrate :shrug:

[Glenn.]

"Congrats on who you're attracted to" is a bit of a weird and pointless thing to celebrate :shrug:

Yeah no ****. It’s almost as if no one should have to do it

[Oliver_W]

Yeah no ****. It’s almost as if no one should have to do it

Agreed - like I said upthread, I barely bothered!

[Redway]

I can't remember "officially" coming out - I wasn't really in a Glass Closet or anything, but it seems like it went from only me knowing, to everyone knowing. But it was somewhere in mid secondary school.

How does being transphobic work when you’re bisexual?

[Oliver_W]

How does being transphobic work when you’re bisexual?

How am I transphobic? I feel no hatred or distaste in regards to trans people.

[Oliver_W]

Also that's a bit like asking how a straight man can be a misogynist.

[Redway]

How am I transphobic? I feel no hatred or distaste in regards to trans people.

But yet their mere existence is pathological to you.

[Niamh.]

But yet their mere existence is pathological to you.You're like a dog with a bone Redway, its baiting at this point. You have a thread about this topic already, keep.it in there
