This article in the NYT made me curious what other people's experiences were like.

I only did to my wife and a close friend. Felt like the end of the world. Was shocked when it wasn’t. That said, I will never come out to my family. That will spell the end of my life.

My family are anti lgbt too, I don't have contact with them which is the right thing for me

I have limited contact with mine because I’d have zero family if I was to cut this last bit off. The rest all cut me off 🤓 and they don’t even know I’m on the bi spectrum!
