The lovely lady who basically outed me to my teacher.Today in English we were making scrape books because it's the end of the year and i guess they want us to remember the year. Anyway, i brought a few pictures of Katherine Moennig and a bunch of pictures of my friends. Since i sit in the front my teacher started looking at my pictures and i was describing them. She saw the ones of Katherine Moennig and said, "Oh, I know her." I'm not "out" at school so i started blushing and it was awkward. I guess i should add that i know that she's gay because she's mentioned that her partner has graded my test. Plus, she has a picture of her and her girlfriend camping. Also, when we were talking about gay marriage she said it was legal in Hawaii and i told her that it was illegal and she said that she should have known that. But anyway, after she said that she knew Katherine Moennig i wanted to ask if she knew Bette and Tina as well. But i think that would have been a bit awkward and i already know she watches the L Word because i've heard her talking about it. I mean, how weird would it have been if i'd asked her and she said yes. At that moment we both would have been like "oh.. she's gay too?"

Hi nikki!! that's a funny story, I would have asked her to see what she said. I read your post on the board and I think is very brave, so let me know how it goes!
good luck!
thanks... i umm kinda chickened out.. i REALLY wanted to. but you know how there's never the perfect time. i actually tried to tell her through my writing but i don't think she caught on, i wrote a poem about how hard it is to come out without saying that's what it was about. do you think that coming out to her through email would be a bad idea.. i'm going to see her over the summer cause i'm going to her writing camp but i want to get it off my chest and she told me to stay in touch... anyway.. coming out is so freaking hard and scary!! i wish i could just do it so i can stop freaking out about it..
