So in exciting news, I came out to my dad. I had talked with my mom years earlier and had been waiting for a good time to tell my dad. He is conservative but not exactly religious. The only discussion we had about gay marriage is that the word marriage is a word belonging to the church, and that the government only got into marriages to make money. Therefore, everything should be unions and he had no problem with lgbt community having weddings (so basically semantics). I have a cousin who is a lesbian but every time I wanted to tell him, something came up (something with family, my brothers, work, etc..). So I told him last week and he said "Ok." He later added as long as you are happy, that is what is important and other things. It feels weird but also good at the same time.

Of course, there goes my excuse for not dating…....

Read the article and the headline is very misleading, all clickbait. Jackie Chan hasn't spoken to her and they have no communication, so it isn't fair to throw Jackie Chan under the bus

Thank you. I hadn't thought about the club at my university. I will have to check on that. I didn't join the one at my undergrad because I was not out and was told it was cliquey.

I have been a member for a year and decided to try posting in the forum. Hi!!!

Long story short, I am graduating college and going to get my masters at a different school. I have not dated any guys (I had a high school girlfriend before I truly understood myself) and I am kind of nervous. I have never been or want to be part of the hook-up culture, but I want to start dating. How do I find dates? I am nervous to used Grindr, because my friend that uses it, uses it for hooking-up. Any discussion or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have significantly more female friends than male friends. I wish I had more male friends but I run into the problem of them turning out to be very chauvinistic or homophobic, which really disappoints me cause I liked them up until that point.

I came out to my mom first. That was a few years ago. I am going to tell my dad in the coming months (hopefully)
