Coming out to sister... whew!!!

[deletetacount123]

My sister and I had breakfast together this morning and talked about stuff
.... somehow the topic went to talking about gays, lesbians and bisexuals :-)

Well, I told her I was interested in girls and she took that rather well, she thinks I should do what I want to do and is supportive :-)

It was hard to say that cause back in June, I teased her and she took it seriously and got all upset about it so I never brought it up again..... and now shes all "well thats great!!" and all that lol

I told her thats part why I wanted to check out some of the good friendly bars around here :-) She said there are a lot of lesbians in this area as well as gays and bisexuals lol (she would know.. she goes to the bars) and shes very interested in taking me to explore the bar scene now and maybe meet some girls lol

Im happy :-) She also told me that our mother is crazy and not to listen to her. hehe She thinks our mom is still living in the past sometimes. I would have to agree. Especially when mom said theres no such thing as bisexuals.

My sister does agreed our mom doesn't want us to grow up and tries to control our lives.... she said "You're an older woman now.... " (seeing the nasty look I have her, she repharsed hehe.) "You're an mature woman now..... I think you shoudl do what you want!! If you want to date a girl. thats ok!!" She also agreed with what my friend Andrea said to me awhile ago about me being better off with girls than guys :-)

Soooooooooo

Im in a great mood today!!! hehe I think I also somehow put her in a better mood cause she was mad at her bf about something earlier this morning lol

Awright Tasha...That is good to hear...Have fun exploring the bar scene but do be very cautious... :paw: :paw:

That's great news Tasha!!! I'm so glad for you. You really need someone supportive of you. It's even better when it's someone that knows how your mom can be and will help squash those insecure and hurtful feelings that fester after a negative conversation with her.

Thanks Cody :-)
I am well aware about the bar scene and my sister knows I just want to go to the friendlier ones (she perfers those too). I also know you NEVER leave your drink alone, if you do, then get a new one. :-)

Arana, I agree!!! lol

[Herbwoman39]

That's FANTASTIC Tasha! I'm so happy you have someone close by that you can talk to. It's wonderful that your sister can be there to support you when your Mom is pressuring you.

Good luck at the bars. Let us know how it goes :)

If you try the bar scene go with someone you can trust and look out for each other. I have been thinking about checking out some of the seattle bars someday and when I do I am going to ask my brother to go with me, safety in numbers.

Trust me Reprob, I would NEVER go to a bar by myself especially knowing how many weirdos there are. My sister IS coming with me to check out bars and since she knows them better than I do, lol, she'll pick the better ones to go to. I always believe in going to bars with someone you know and trust so if theres a problem, that person can help.

It would be fun. and spent sister time too since we rarely get the chance to spent time together. Now...... Hmmmm bars = dancing.... do I know how to dance?? *worried look* lol

Herbwoman - Thanks and I'll let you know!!! :-)

Congradulations Tasha I'm so happy for you. sisters are so great yeah. Mine is awsome bout the bi thing as wel. have fun.

As an only child I have no sister as such but do have a cousin a few years older who has always been like one to me. Ever since I was little she has looked out for me. She has always been openly bi ever since I can remember and it was she I turned to when I realised I was developing a similar sexuality and began going through the mental confusion and anguish of not being "normal". Her love and advice I have always treasured and always shall
remember how terrific she was when making the transition from little girl lost to the beginnings of the person I am today, not to say just how wonderful she has been through the intervening years, and has always seemed to be there just when needed most, and has hauled me out of the darkest troughs.

Recently she tragically lost one of her oldest and dearest friends, and for once I was so glad to just be there for her when she needed me. Small payment for one who has given me so much.

Sisters can be great when you need them.
My sister - 3 years older - with whom I was never really close,was the first person I came to; before my husband.
I had all these conflicting, self esteem issues (not suicidal, but very confused) and had to open to someone.
She was great. Basically, " so what's the big deal?? You haven't changed."

It made telling my husband so much easier.
\That was all close to 10 years ago.

Wosnt me sis that wos the trouble..tho wen she guessed she didn kno wer 2 look. Spesh as she knew me gf at the time an wos horrified. tee hee. Trouble wos me bruv.

Dunno wer the hatred cums from cos we wer brought up betta than that.

My sister was the first person I came out to. I had gone to the Manchester Pride in 2005 and got her to pick me up from the train station. I was roaring drunk and was going to tell her then, but her husband was in the car. I sat there grinning like an idiot for the 10 minute journey home after telling a lie where I had been to get in such a state.

The next day, I told her where I had been. She laughed, thinking it was another of my dead-pan wind-ups, but then was ok about it when I pointed out I wasnt gay, but bi

and that was that ...

I am happy for you sweetie, only be very careful and take precautions. Good luck!!!
