Coming out 22 years ago,zero regret.I knew I was gay at age 15 and held it in for a long time.Finally on May 29th,2000 I decided to finally come out about this.Went to see my mom and luckily my 2 older sisters were there also.Said I wanted to come out about something and asked me what it is.I looked at them and told them I am gay.All looked at me and said they still love me no matter what.I was so relieved they accepted it.I was 4 months into being fulltime as Erica too.They are supportive to this day.
 
I knew that I was in the closet about it could not hold onto this secret anymore.They know I am married to a great partner,Bryan that has been a positive influence in my life
 
Congratulations. It's such a scary thing to do. And it's such a relief to be able to be your true self. I also have zero regrets

I just love reading stuff like this😊 I am so happy for you, your family is wonderful 💕 My son came out when he was in high school and, honestly, I was just happy he felt he could come to me. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to be who they are and shouldn’t fear shame, abandonment, or criticism. It wasn’t easy for him growing up in a small town where people are not open minded. There was aot of judgment and bullying. Be proud of who you are, it is who you were meant to be 😊
