I've been out to some degree since I was twelve, my family and friends are all supportive, my girlfriend is a major part of my life, and I still get nervous when I mention that I'm queer. Especially since I've got the whole "ambiguous gender identity" thing goin' on. (That's actually the hardest part to explain. "Well, I know I've got the parts, but I'm not a girl- no, not exactly a boy either- nope, I am not in fact a space alien, thanks, though, James...") I've learned to just enjoy it when people get confused. Fucking with the binary can be fun!
(Especially when you refer to your girlhood crush on your straight male best friend as "homoerotic" and just watch shit fly.)
