This is a followup. It doesn't seem to really bother my family. Actually, things feel pretty normal now. I came out to my sister on Sunday, but I really don't think she was surprised, not that she's ever seen me kissing other guys or anything. My family hasn't really talked to me about me being gay, except for a few times. Mom wouldn't refer to me as "being gay", she'd instead say "Remember what you told me the other night?" Duuuuuuuuh! She said that she doesn't really know many gay people, and she hopes that she can learn about it from me. She also asked if I know about protection, and we can ask the doctor if I have questions. This is like the most ackward thing to talk about with my mom, but it's very comforting to know that she's supportive.

I'm trying to figure out how I should come out to my friends. They were all really supportive when my friend in high school said she was bi. I wish I came out a long time ago. It would probably have been a lot more supportive to my friend if I had come out too. I wonder what would happen if I just set my Facebook "interested in" to men. It's been set on blank forever.

I live just south of Seattle and I happened to read the Wikipedia article the other night, and it says that Seattle has the second most GLBT percentage in the U.S.A. second to San Francisco. It's like 10%. That seems unbelievablly high. It's good to know I'm in good company. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find a boyfriend, but I just need to look.

I came out to my parents last night. They seemed to be very supportive, saying that as long as I'm happy, it's okay with them. My mom cried a little, but I don't think there was any way around that. I got kind of worried, though, because not long after I told her, she mentioned how disappointed she was when I told her I was atheist, and how she felt it was all her fault. I'm afraid she feels the same way about me being gay, and that she's going to try to change my mind about it the way she tried (badly) at trying to make me Christian.
