I'm having hall camp now. met new friends again, mainly from the arts faculty this time, which is a good thing.
interesting part about camps is that, there will definitely be situations where I come out to people. for those who still don't know what "come out" means, it's "to state openly and publicly one's homosexuality". and I do that now not because I'm that loud and proud to scream out "I'm lesbian" to them, but because most people are interested in relationship questions.
"are you attached?"
"so what is HE like?"
that is the point where I come in to clarify that its not a "HE", and then they go "oooooooooooo......" with that deep-in-thought-I-know-what-you're-talking-about look.
and one thing I realised after being open for these months is that, Elsa is right. coming out gets easier and easier after you get past the first few hurdles. after a while.. it just surprisingly comes natural to you. it gets so easy for me now that the people who don't know I'm gay forms the minority, not the other way round. even some people I don't know, somehow knows I'm gay!
that's the extent of my out-ness.
well I hope all GLBTs can be like me one day, not having to hide your real sexuality and identity. and not be stifled by a narrow minded society with conservative values.
