discussion I Finally Came Out Gay at 27 Years Old and Everyone Accepted Me

[kandicha]

Congratulations! Your family's reaction sounds so sweet and loving, I teared up reading it 

[HANZ94]

Thank you all 

sometimes I’m like “did that really happen?”

“is this real life? “

its so overwhelming and getting daily messages from my family asking how I am is amazing

So happy for you!

There's no point having regrets about coming out sooner. It's something that can't be changed. Plus now that you're 27, you live away from home, you (presumably?) have a job and your life together, I'm sure that all contributed to your family's acceptance. They know they have nothing to worry about. You're a great son and have made them proud regardless. 

Yes I’m 100% independent now 

And it’s been like that for 2 years already but I finally did it

Congratulations!

 

I came out to my African family around the same age after having been a high school & college athlete. I had the same unexpected story of immediate love and acceptance from the whole family.

 

I know how it feels to walk outside a the day after, feeling  ready to take on the whole world cause you have the full backing of your love ones behind you.

 

Amazing feeling man!

 

Enjoy!

Yeah I swear I never in a million years expected this moment to be so ….. easy 

now I’m ready to GO and fight this world cause my family is behind me

I cried reading this.

 

I am young but afraid , I will never be able to come out.

My family will hate me forever and some might even beat me.

I would be called disappointment.

 

I am so happy for you , I can't even express. Enjoy your life. You are lucky to have a great family.  

Omg I’m so sorry but imo you should come out till you are ready 

I waited until I was 100% independent to do it cause I also feared the same thing

 

but you’re family may surprise you, love wins in the end 

[HANZ94]

I’m so happy my story touched y’all like that 

this truly is A MOMENT in my life, and every single day feels so much better than the last 

 

i used to cry non stop in January and now I’m full of energy 

 

coming out truly changed everything 

wish y’all the best ❤️

Congrats

 

Coming out really does take a big load of your shoulders, glad your family accepted you.

I am so happy for you.

I only came out to some people I really love and trust and it feels amazing, I can’t imagine the feeling if everyone know about me, but I don’t really care tbh cause I don’t need their approval.

 

once again I am so so happy for you, what an open minded family you have.

[Virgos Groove]

So happy for you.

What a beautiful story, thank you for sharing it with us.  Hopefully things will only get better and better for you from now on! You must be so relieved.

[Pink Matter]

Whew my heart is so full reading this  (especially as someone who still hasn't come out yet). Congrats to you sis!

[HANZ94]

Thank you so much y’all 

I’m so glad my story touched your hearts 

 

sometimes I wake up and still can’t believe that happened 

 

and don’t worry if you are still in the closet, your time will come, I honestly thought it was never gonna happen and here I am
