I recently came out, and somewhere along the way my grandmother who I love a lot, and has never called me gross or anything told my uncle who is gay. He really wants me to go to youth pride. I told him I don't wanna go, but I really do wanna go. My best friend is bisexual, and she came out and told me over the summer, and I wasn't sure if she was just saying it because me and a majority of her friends were gay or what. But either way, she says she is sure, and she loves this girl a real lot. So I suggested that we go to youth pride, and I go with her. (sort of like I said...I don't wanna go...but if you really want to, I will go with you....) But I don't wanna go with my uncle and I know he wants me to go with him. But I am scared sad . I have never had friends who loved the same like me, and recently my friend came out, and I found this guild, and I'm so really happy. But I in person, I have never gone to a group for it, which is the scary part. I don't know. sad . It's stupid for me to be so scared, but I am. sad

also, sometimes I feel like when I meet new people and make friends, that I can't be open with them about my sexual orientation, and just for that, they would blow me off and stop talking to me. Which is why youth pride would be a good thing, but I suffer from social anxiety and blah blah blah, and it's just so scary....and I don't know sad . I'd probably just sit there and ring my sweaty palms anyway sad

Wow.... I can completely relate. I mean, i know that that is a purpose of this guild but still. My friend keeps saying that she wants to go to pride marches and stuff but i'm all freaked out that someone i know will see me and judge me and if they judge me they might hate me and down and down the spiral goes.
Saying that, i'm not really sure any advice of mine would be helpful, but hey, i think that maybe you should just go with you uncle and your friend. I know that you might not want to go with your uncle, but it might be really nice to have adult support there if you wnated to and you can always go wandering off with your friend if you want.
I decided a couple days ago to go to this gblt youth thing that is happening locally tonight and even though i'm still not sure its a good idea i think that i will have a good time and that i will be able to meet people something that i am really looking foward too.
I don't think you would regret deciding to go. It seems that in life you sometimes just have to take the plung and see what happnes.

I know, it is the plunge that is scaring me to death !!! sad lol, I don't have any friends as it is. Mostly online friends, but sometimes even telling people online, can make you feel bad too sad . I would rather just go with my friend sad , I might ask her if we found an address and how to get there on the bus. It just feels so awkward and weird sad

I am not fully out myself. I have only told people online and 3 people in real life that I am androgenous, and bi.
Currently, I am a part of a GLBT organization at my school and it helps. I doubt, I can be fully out untill I go off to art school next year.

The plung can be terrifiying. You should have seen me when i came out to my mom. I was pacing and biting my lip.
Btw.... i hadn't heard of a youth pride thing. where is it?
If you would rather go with your friend then you should do so but it might really suck if you accidently run into your uncle there.
It might feel awkward, but chances are that it will be really fun too. It might sound cliched but your only young once and i think that its better to try something and ******** up then completely regret your entire life not trying it.

Huh.... i've kind of just adopted a policy of tell if they ask, otherwise keep silent. It's not other peoples business but if they ask me i usually tell the truth. So few people ask that practically no one in my school knows. Then again, i often feel as if thats hidering me because there are probably quite a few people in my school with that policy. Dunno. Good luck to you then next year. Its not like you need to hurry.

Eh.. advice wise, take it one step at a time. You do not have to tell everyone at once. If you want to go to a pride event take your friend with you and hang out. If you act as if it is not a serious thing it won't be as diffucult to do.

you could google youth pride, it is pretty much a place for transgender, bisexuals, lesbians, anyone who loves differently. It's supposed to be an accepting community, and I live in the new england area, and that is the only group I know sad . It would be so easy to join a club, where I didn't hate the leader who created it (school wise) lol.
