Pride’s over everyone! It’s now illegal to be gay again.

    Coming out for the first time is incredibly hard, it's okay for it to take a few tries. You didn't fail for not doing it when you weren't able to find the courage to. It takes time to be able to come out, and even this experience can help you reach that sooner than you otherwise might. This sort of frustration can sometimes be the extra push you need, I know it was for me a few times.

    And don't worry so much about having the perfect time to do it, such times are usually too sudden to take advantage of if you aren't ready. It's better to just pick a time and build pressure on yourself to come out, at least for me.

    I'm sure you'll tell your friend when you're ready to, and I hope that it makes you happy when you do. 💜

      a few tries

      I'm already at two cri so I have to get it right next time. (/joking)

      But thank you, I appreciate it. This made me feel better, I hope so too.

        With one of my online friend groups it took me 8, I kept trying to push myself or having nearly perfect moments and I didn't finally find it in myself until a year after I first tried. There's no specific time you need to do it, you'll be able to when you're ready to.

        And of course, anytime. You deserve to have happiness in your life.
