It's almost time to come out...

Hello All,

Coming out week is in less than 2 weeks. It starts on October 11th. I was planning on coming out to my closest friends this week, but there's a problem. Most of the people whom I am friends with that want to be there to support me will be too busy with other events. So here's the new plan. The week after coming out week is Allied Appreciation Week. A time for those in the LGBT... community to show appreciation for those who treat them with respect and fight for their rights. The plan is to come out to them during this week.

After I come out to them, comes the next step. I need to tell my mom what will be happening come January. This cannot be about her. It has to be about me. So the plan is to have her come into the meeting with my therapist with me. Not sure how she will take it, but it is something that has to be done. I just want to make sure that my friends know first. At least then, when she says, "What will your friends think?" I will be able to say, "Well mom, they already know."

Can't really think of anything else that relates to an update, so until next time...
