Big Month Ahead
7 years ago
Hey, everyone. So close to a hundred watchers! I can't thank y'all enough for that. It means a huge deal to me that you love my art enough to follow this simple horse guy. Really appreciate it!
I'm writing this journal with intent to set the record straight. I've done some reflecting for a month or two about something I think is a big deal to me, even though it's normal in the furry fandom. In the past year (I've called myself furry for exactly a year this month) I've come to the realization that I might be closer to the LGBT community than I thought. Mind you, I've had just a few passing thoughts about it in the past few years before joining the fandom. But without going into more personal details, I just want to say this.
I'm bisexual.
I am taking baby steps on this though. Still feel that I'm figuring out my true feelings. Telling people in the fandom that I was straight just felt a little inaccurate. I'm glad I typed this out after sitting on the right words to say. I'll tell others in the coming months as I feel more comfortable. There is no time table for the coming out process for me. I'll do it my way. Nonetheless, I've never felt stronger emotionally. We'll see what happens.
I'm happy I'm in this community with so many open-minded people. I really don't have any lofty goals identifying as LGBT, such as societal rights. I just want to be true to myself and others. Thanks for reading.
