Sui Generis Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Yes I'm aware that we've had another thread similar to this, but I don't think it would be right to post this in his thread. Well I've been talking mainly to Blanko but a couple of other people and I've decided I should let you all know. I mean I've seen how you guys have reacted and since you are family and since you guys are so accepting, I feel it your right to know. I just wanted to tell everyone that I am bi-sexual. I have been for as long as I can remember, I've been afraid to tell anyone. My parents did not recieve it so well and still are in denial about it. I think the only person that knew this before a couple of days ago was Transtic Nerve, or to a certain level he did. He also gave me the courage to do this, even though I haven't talked to him in quiet some time. And also ShyGuy did. Thats the thread I was talking about. Lord knows I've never talked to him, but hey you helped. Thanks... I just felt like you guys deserved to know....I guess thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=deeppink] [size=1]I'm really glad you told us. That tells us alot about your personality, and how open you are to us. We're not going to see you any differently, I'm not going to see you differently. You're still the same Lalaith Ril, and always will be. That's that. :whoops:[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conpiracymonki Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [b][size=1] *doesn't see the big deal* Well done Duo :) Not that I knew or anything about this. It must take a lot of courage to stand up and say something like that. Courage that most of us don't have. >_< Don't worry about your parents and family etc. Once they come their senses and stop being silly, they'll realise you're still the same good person you were before :)[/b] *would handshake him if he could*[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [size=1]Dude, cheer up. ;) You're the same person, and my opinion of you hasn't changed a bit. You're still the cool guy I've never-quite-talked-to-although-I've-always-halfway-been-meaning-too. Cheers. ;)[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [size=1]Well, I think it speaks tons for your character being able to tell everyone this in such an open and direct matter. I'm sure that everyone thinks of you in the same way, and if they don't, that means they weren't knowing in the first place. It is nice to know that I helped you in whatever way that I could, and if you ever want, feel free to talk to me on AIM. So yeah, you'll always be [strike]DuoGod of Death[/strike] Lalaith Ril to me. -Shy :whoops:[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=indigo][size=1]Hrmm... I cannot really think of what to say, lol. It is not really that I am shocked or anything, I guess I just fail to see the big deal. When I first got done reading your post I felt a strange compulsion to give you a hug, lol. That is just me, though. My actions speak more often than my words (you would notice this if you met me in person). Your parents, and no offense is meant by this, are rather blind with how they are reacting. You say you have been bi-sexual for as long as you can remember,and obviously you have never told them up until recently. So, I can assume that they have cared for you all the way through. If they could do it then, they can do it now. Possibly, even more. That is just my thought, though...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delian Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 What you are does not change who you are. Your still the same person as always and it's good to know that you've had the courage to let your parents know. Don't worry, they will accept this and I highly doubt they'll think of you differently. Be happy with yourself...It's all good:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=darkblue] There's nothing wrong with being bi-sexual. I'm not bi-sexual, but I have no problem with people you are. I'll be repeating many people, but it's not a big deal. I would have never guessed, but you're still the same person :) [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 It's been a while since I've talked to you--the guy with the Swedish fish, lol. I haven't seen your name on my list in ages! It's always refreshing to see that people are so comfortable in being themselves around here though. Your sexuality doesn't make me look at you any differntly as a person at all. It was pleasing to hear that you were upfront with your parents, as well. I know that being open isn't always easy. But, parents love their children no matter what. They might be shocked, or in denial right now, but they'll come around. There's nothing wrong with being yourself. I'm sure that they want you to be happy. I'm very proud of you.

Transtic Nerve Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 oiiii I did what? I know I talked to you, knew about you, but didn't know I encouraged you to do this. At least not here on the boards. Maybe to your parents because I know what you're going through and I feel that for someone (who is young and who lives with their parents) to feel absolutely comfortable with who they are and other to feel the same, parents should be told, As well as close friends or people whom you interact with alot.... I knew by looking at the title the topic would be that of this content. The first step is coming to terms with yourself, the next is others, the final step is accepting what you truely are and living that way. Don't hide it, for if you really love someone, friend or family, they'll know eventually because it'll tear you apart. It's best to get it out of the way early and not wait. I've realize that was my mistake in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathKnight Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=crimson]No biggy. I mean, you have a right to who you are. If people cant accept that, then you are wasting your time on them. ^^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=blue][size=1]Lalaith, it's great that you are comfortable enough with us to be so open. That's cool :). You're still the same person, and I'm sure no one here is going to treat you any differently. Just don't ever feel ashamed about who you are ^^[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShinje Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [size=1] [color=crimson] [font=century gothic] Well done Lalaith :) doing something you have just done is never easy. I've been through a similar experience. And this is exactly why i love OtakuBoards so much, is the fact that you can be you and no one really cares. This community will treat you the same if you are straight or bisexual, or if you are a spammer (well, maybe not the latter) And you'll always be the same Lalaith Ril to just about everyone on OB, i think that's fair ebought to say. From my personal experience, secrets bottle up inside you and hurt you deeply, 'Coming out' nad getting these things off your chest is always the best solution tis the best thing that I ever did. -S@bre.

James Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=#507AAC]You've been around on these boards for a while now, Lalaith. As mentioned by others, it's great to see that you feel comfortable enough to tell us what's on your mind. I am personally very proud of you for making such a decision. And I wish you the best of luck with your parents and friends. ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=red] Lalaith, I haven't talked to you in ages....I was starting to worry 'bout you. But, I'm not going to repeat what all else has already been said of what I think: You're the same. You really had me worried there, but now, hopefully, we'll have a chat on AIM sometime soon.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedlit Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=009966]*reads post, then gives Bry a hug* ^^ I'm glad that you're comfortable enough here to tell us that, despite the fact that you probably haven't met any of us. Your parents should be able to accept the fact that you're still Bryan, and you'll always be Bryan. ^_- If they can't, then they're just daft. :whoops: You're still one and the same.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hey guys thanks. I don't know, I'm in no way ashamed, but I was just scared. I don't know like you guys said it really isn't that big of a deal, but oh well. You know me Mr. Dramatic:rolleyes: . Anyways thanks guys. It means alot that I'm still the same in your eyes...alot. Also thanks for being yourselves. I don't know that I would've ever "Come out" at any other boards. Atleast any that I've been to. You guys are my family. Thanks guys! I'd love to thank you all one at a time, but I'm afraid that'd take alittle too long. Well atleast it'd take forever to read o.O. Anyway thanks again.... And to those people I have not been able to reach via AIM, I'm sorry. AIM has been taken off my computer at the moment, I'm trying my best to get it back on. I'm not sure when that'll be but I will tell you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celia Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 [color=0099FF] [size=1]It's not a problem being a bi- sexual. You can do whatever you want to do. People would always like you of who you are, not how you are. One question... What would your parents think if you tell them?[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juu Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 [color=deeppink] [size=1]Celia... he already told his parents. And I'm pretty upset they can't accept that. They've loved you before, so why are they so upset about it now? They really shouldn't think of it that way... *hands Bryan a marshmellow*[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with that... it just takes time to accept these things when you're a parent. I think denial may be a bit too far, but maybe not, I'm not a parent and neither are you.
