In all seriousness, thanks for inspiring me to pursue that kind of openness with some of my own friends.Frank Lee Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886437307154426730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594608645734879431.post-23221852029115116082009-04-14T05:09:00.000-07:002009-04-14T05:09:00.000-07:00Hi, Alan told me about your blog and I've added it...Hi, Alan told me about your blog and I've added it to my list of <I>family</I> - welcome to the Mormon queerosphere.<br /><br />A couple other places you might want to check out<br /><br /><A HREF="http://northstarlds.org/" REL="nofollow">North Star</A> - a community for Latter-day Saints dealing with issues surrounding homosexual attraction who desire to live in harmony with the teachings of Jesus Christ<br /><br /><A HREF="http://gaychristian.net/" REL="nofollow">Gay Christian Network</A> - a nonprofit ministry serving Christians who happen to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender<br /><br />Both of these groups have communities of members in your age group and are safe environmentsAbelard Enigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166049686152203530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594608645734879431.post-50021117750848875692009-04-13T18:18:00.000-07:002009-04-13T18:18:00.000-07:00Hey Garet, I just ran across your blog for the fir...Hey Garet, I just ran across your blog for the first time. Looks like you know Scott & Sarah and Dallin, all of whom are good friends of mine. I've added your blog to my sidebar and am going to alert Abe in TX who runs "Mormon Enigma" he's kind of the acknowledged portal for all MoHo blogs. Looks like you're not on his list yet.<br /><br />Coming out really is a process, I have learned that too. And if you play your cards right, sometimes it can actually be fun. Sometimes it can be disastrous too, I know, but that's why I tend to take it slow and basically follow a "need to know" approach. I enjoy your blog and look forward to reading more.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992194211469009236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594608645734879431.post-27544862410267771962009-04-12T22:03:00.000-07:002009-04-12T22:03:00.000-07:00Hey, congrats!

And good luck on future tests... guys will always be around, so concentrate. :-)<BR/><BR/>I just <A HREF="http://augmented-id.blogspot.com/2009/04/inflection-points-pt-2-so-do-you-like.html" REL="nofollow">came out</A> to my friends at the age of 26, rather than 16... <B>more power to you</B> for taking that leap of faith when you did. I regret not telling people earlier, because I wonder what would've been different.<BR/><BR/>One thing to realize, though, is that unless you wear a rainbow t-shirt 24x7, coming out is a continual process. Since I came out last year, my sexuality has come up in just about every "comfortable" social setting. In some cases I bring it up, in others, my friends point-blank introduce me with "Hey! Here's my friend G___, he's smart, single, and we need to find a really good guy for him!" I just blinked when someone did that the first time. ;-)<BR/><BR/>So congrats again!<BR/>~G.J.Gauss Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13781308532984102753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594608645734879431.post-36329833433383067792009-04-11T18:02:00.000-07:002009-04-11T18:02:00.000-07:00Wow!

It's normal for her to have doubts and questions and to not understand everything at first, but it sounds like she's trying hard to be supportive and caring, and that's a sign of a good friend.<BR/><BR/>I hope you know that you've got friends here in the blogosphere as well.
