I’m Officially Out of the Closet

I was so deep in the closet, I didn’t even know I was in a closet. I started questioning last Thursday and realized I’m bisexual on Monday. I’ve come out to my friends and sister. I plan to come out to the GSA Club tomorrow at my school. I originally joined as an ally. I feel so much more confident and have less mental health issues because of this realization. I’m frustrated, though, because coming out to any of my other family members would only cause confrontation and confusion. I’m a married adult, but I don’t want to cause tension or distance with my family because we just started connecting better recently.

I'm not sure why the whole coming out thing is so important. I never came out to everyone to say I was straight. Does your husband know?? That should be enough if it were me I would think.

My husband knew before me and helped me figure it out. He’s very supportive. He’s asexual. The only reason I would want to come out is so that I’m not pretending to be someone I’m not. I would also want my family to know why I’m doing better now than I was before. I know that no one really needs to know, though. @Dainbramadge

@Bluesugar93 what do you mean by asexual?

He’s not sexually attracted to any gender. I’m the exception. @SW-User
