First Day, First Gay
19
Mon, 08-27-2007 - 5:16pm

This was my first day back to work as a reasonably out female gay person. lol I told both of the men in my department today and one of the young women teachers whom I taught many years ago. I am going to her wedding in September(I'm already out to her mom, we are good buds) and I wanted her to know why my stbxh was not going to be there. Last, but not least, I came out to a dear friend. She cried about it and the divorce. I think she was also hurt that I didn't tell her sooner, but she used to make a lot of gay jokes and I was uncomfortable telling her. She apologized profusely, but you know, it was okay.

Just to show you how great some people are(after my awful weekend event), the young teacher asked me if I wanted to bring somebody else to the wedding. How kind. We settled on asking my dd, but it would probably be a hardship for her to travel here from CO for the wedding. I will ask anyhow.

Well, that's my story and I am sticking to it.

Awww, I'm so glad you had a good day! You know to 90% of the people you come in contact with, your sexuality will be a non issue. You are still you and that is what they will focus on, especially as time passes.

So proud of you!
