i'm very proud of you Clint
my older son found out about my ex-gf and was making fun of me the other day.

"mom munches carpet!" (little brat) i didn't admit nor deny, i like my privacy about my sexuality. he's 17 but it's so none of his business... i suppose if i chose a life partner woman, which could still happen, then i'd tell him because it would become a family thing.
follow your own path and believe in yourself, you are you and have nothing to be ashamed of! feel your feelings as you need, but there is nothing wrong with being gay or straight or bi or totally confused about who you are. it's part of your life experience. i'm glad you opened up to us here. i'd like to see you find love and happiness and not worry about coming out to your p's right now, that can happen when you're ready. it's your right to tell them or not tell them.
