In high school I sat my dad down and came out to him as bi. I was nervous because I was starting to develop feelings for a guy, we’re now highschool sweethearts, and he told me, “as long as you’re happy, I’m happy. Don’t let anyone take that away from you”. On the other hand, my mom did not take it well at all, but she eventually got over it because she began to realize my boy is, “not too bad” as she says haha.

I came out in junior year of college to my whole fam. Given my parents are significantly older (I’m 26 and my dad is in his 70s), I wasn’t sure how they’d react. The whole “coming out” experience turned out well for me. I think realizing that my parents just want me to be healthy and happy at the end of the day. Even though, they might get mad at me for a few days, months, or even years - that’s just their process of learning and embracing, which could take time. They will come around eventually. I’d rather allow them take the time to learn about homosexuality than hiding it for the rest of my life.

I'm bisexual. I think my friends have always known, and they are pretty chill with it. I never had a "coming out" moment, and I am pretty open when I talk about my partners with my friends and peers. My parents and siblings don't know though... It's too awkward of a conversation for me.

I’m gay. Came out to my parents in high school. It was much harder then back in 2003. They were hesitant, let’s not speak of this again. We’re are Catholic. But later on they were super supportive of my now husband. They’ve both pasted away now. Life happens at hyper-speed and I’ve never regretted coming out to my family. Just be yourself. :)

Thanks for sharing D1. This resonated with me. My parents are are very religious (Christian) and have made many anti-LGBT comments while I was growing up so I’m quite scared to come out to them. I’m 24 now and bi, dating my partner who is same sex as me.

Hi fishes,

Looking for a nice looking, sturdy, comfortable to carry travel duffel with a cross body strap. I always travel with my Louis Vuitton Keepall 55 bandoulière as a carry on, with mainly my shoes and handbags in it - but i took her in to LV for a repair and due to supply issues she will sadly not be back in time for my trip to Italy in September. (The repair may take 10 months, WTF!) I would appreciate any recommendations, and would love for it to be similar in size to the Keepall 55.

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

Lender shopping before I close out on my first home. Is 3.5% a good rate for putting 20% down on a home? How can I go about having my lender match other lenders? For context, the home I’m building in Texas has a lender that will cover $5k in closing costs if I go with them, and that’s the rate they’re giving me. I realize the rates are going back up and just wanted any advice on if it’s best to lock that in the next week or keep shopping as my closing is May 14. Thanks in advance!
