Absolutely.

I'm also 22 and bisexual, with feelings more for the same sex as me. I 'came out' when I was 19 to my family, but I never bothered to think of how they might feel or deal with it. They haven't, so that solves that. It's totally not easy, and yes it's a transition you should make gradually. I also think, though, that being part of a queer community can help you face challenges side by side with other people who face what you do. I just want to say right on for being honest on the message board, comming out, and not being ashamed or questioning whether it's normal for you. Thank you so much!

I agree with you definately, that joining a society does help take the pressures off. I joined in my last year of university (LGBT), it was brilliant in so many ways and not so great in others. Generally though made a load of great mates, some of whom i'm still great mates with now. It really does help to deal with things in simple ways, such as being able to talk to people about finding someone of the same sex 'fit'. Being able to say that without worrying what someones going to think its a hugggge thing to start of with....maybe i just think a lot of women are fit :) hehe. 

  

Plus u never forget your first gay club experience ;)
Anyone care to tell theirs?

Hi...my son is gay, he came out when he was 18.  Before he told me I had NO clue that he was gay, and it did shok me.  I'm afraid I didn't respont the way he wanted me to respond.  I asked the usual questions, what did I do wrong (?), are you sure it isn't a phase (?), things like that.  After a few days I realized that he was still the same person I had known and loved for 18 years, the only difference was... now I knew that he was gay.  Once I got that into my thick head everything was fine between my son and me...other than typical mom/grown child  issues :-)  Maybe you could tell your family that you are the same as you always were....  I really hope things work out for you and your family and wish all the best to everyone here.
