Yesterday was an exciting yet stressful day for me. I was at a basketball game (I am in the band, so we have to go to almost all the games) and I was sitting talking to some of the other band kids. As kind of a funny Valentine's Day game, we were making a list of celebrities we would want to go out with. Everyone in the band was throwing out names and we were just having fun. I was throwing out all girls names, but I think only a few people noticed, but didn't say anything. At one point, a trumpet player in my grade asked me if I had ever had a boy friend. When I responded no she asked if I was making the list to compensate. I gave a nervous laugh and then leaned over and told her I am gay. She kind of gasped and laughed nervously and I went back to playing. I know the people around us heard (after all it is a basketball game) and she started exclaiming to the person next to her what a surprise it was and so on. She is not the first person I have told, nor will she be the last, but this was particularly meaningful to me because I hope and know she is going to tell other people. All the people I have told before I have told in confidence and asked them not to tell anyone else. The only person I asked this trumpet player not to tell is my brother, who is a trumpet player in the same band. That is where the stressful part comes in. In telling this trumpet player, I have lost control of this very personal information and it is now a distinct possibility my brother will find out and then the rest of my family would find out. However, after reflecting upon this, I have come to the conclusion that I don't care! I can't take being the closet any longer. I am ready for the world to know who I am. I know the reaction from my family is not going to be all positive, but I have a great support system and in the long run, everything will be ok. I am ready for the anxiety and stress that has plagued my life for 5 and half long years to be over. Watch out world I'm coming out! It might be a while, but here I come!
Katherine... YOU GO GIRL!

He's not really my uncle, just a close friend of my mom's I've known since I was little.
He's gay, too.
We were all chilling out at his and his husband's place one night about two years ago.
My mom and my dad and Chris (Doug's husband) were sitting in the living room and yakking each other's ears off, so Doug and I were sitting in the kitchen.
I was psyched, because he was letting me drink beer. XD
He asked me if I had a boyfriend.
I said no.
He told me not to 'get myself in trouble' and I just blurted out
'I don't like boys.'
He just laughed at first.
Then I said I wasn;t kidding.
I mean, yeah. He was gonna lecture me and I wanted him to shut up, so I said that, but it was true.
Doug nodded at my parents and asked
'Did you tell them yet'?
I shook my head and said 'no'.
We hugged.
To this day, the only other people that know are my GR buds.
Proud to be part of that Inner Circle Zom :)

Trying to hide my bisexuality... If I tell anyone, it would probably only be my mom and dad.
My friends already know, and they are totally cool people. Shoutout to you guys if you see this!
But my family... My parents probably would be supportive, but I don't know about my other family members.
