The day just passing marks exactly 8 months since I had planned on coming out to at least one of my parents as a sexually repulsed demisexual. Didn't happen, obviously.
As some of you read on a comment I left on WYFP last night, my third attempt to come out ended in some not-exactly-accepting commentary when I made some remarks about a show with a character who the online asexual community considers to be asexual or at least a pretty much repulsed heterosexual. Not completely horrid, but still not the greatest reaction ever.
And thanks to my emotional reaction to that... I don't have an option anymore. It's happening tomorrow, whether I like it or not. I've run out of dodges. It's been over a year since I came out to myself, and when you've lived a quarter century without knowing there was even a closet there you feel every board once that happens.
I won't be able to hang around online tomorrow apart from a quick check in the morning, or even for very much longer tonight, and then I won't have access to Daily Kos for a few days. But I wanted you all to know, and to feel like I had people rooting for me when it happens (beyond the boyfriend who is also - with his permission, which I've had for over eight months now - getting outed at the same time).
So don't worry when I don't report back for a while.
