and i'm out


These are fried cheese curds....they look disgusting and are a heart attack on a plate, but i love them oh so much, yet only allow myself to eat them on special occasions....today i was so antsy waiting for my brother to get home from work that i drove up to wisconsin just to get some..mmmm

ok so tonight, i did it, i came out to my first family member!
It went well, i was having a beer with him and just said it...he blinked a few times..and then was like "finally..i was wondering when you were going to tell me...want another beer?"
hes known for ages, i knew he knew (sounds like friends) which is why i came out to him first, he is the only one i was sure knew...
he is perfectly fine with it, as i knew he would be, i swear to god he is more of a lesbian than i am...most of his friends are girls, he is friends with more lesbians than i am (he has lived with multiple lezzies), and he loves gay riot grrl music..all of my le tigre, sleater-kinney, sarge, ani, etc. is from him (he even has indigo girls music), and he gets really pissed off at the girls gone wild video's...he makes a great big brother

one down..four to go (sometimes it sucks having a large family, but i would die without them)
I have my dad to come out to next....
then comes my liberal sister, who will be pissed i didnt tell her sooner/first (shes been wondering if i was gay for years...her boyfriend asked me straight out last year, i said i wasnt sure yet..felt bad about it, but i should come out to her before her boyfriend-fyi i've known this guy for 10 years)..i really think things have been kinda weird between us since shes suspected, i hope coming out officially will fix things

then comes the biggy..my super republican newly converted conservative jew sister...I'm going to be living with her family for awhile, she went to smith, so i doubt she will have that much of a problem with it- she and my brother-in-law are the wildcards (they are both super republicans from super liberal families) I dont think it will be a huge deal ..her sister-in-law is dating a transgendered indivdual and always asks my niece what gender pro-noun her polly pockets want to be identified by...this sister is protective of me (she's 12 years older), but she is a freak sometimes...when i went to the iraq war protests in DC, she called me up and told me i was supporting people that would kill my niece in a heartbeat..that really pissed me off..

but anyway..i did it, i am coming out of the closet ....i need a drink
