There’s absolutely no rush to label yourself - there are plenty of people who are still figuring out who they are at 17, and not just in the realm of sexuality. And nobody can tell you how you should or shouldn’t label yourself if you decide to label yourself. I think you’re approaching all of this very maturely, and I wish you all the best in college and as you continue your journey through life.
Tanner, based on how you thought through your coming out I think you will do really well in college. It was not until after I had graduated with a degree in biology that I learned what I really wanted to do. Thus I did one more year in college to earn a master's degree in another field. Everything fell into place and I had a great career and now I am retired. I was 70 when I finally came out to my family and closest friends receiving positive replies from all. So much change has come about in recent years. I wish you great success in college and in your career. I like the term "non-straight." Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you! It always warms my heart when people can relate to me :) and I’m so glad you’ve gotten positive feedback on your coming out! The future is looking bright for us!
Hi Tanner! I fully share your happy relief of being treated “normally” by the other volleyball players. This is, I think, the new normal, what so many of us are hoping for. Sexuality is important, but our personality is much more than that. Other than that I share your reluctance of being labeled or labeling yourself. Plus I enjoyed your video. Thank you for that. Good wishes from Germany Martin
Aw thank you! It makes me so happy when people around the world can relate! And that’s great about volleyball :) I don’t do sports myself but I know that homophobia in sports used to be frequent, so it’s nice that it’s dying down
@@tannereustace thanks! I did not do any sports for decades neither. Especially team sports. Looking backwards I understand why. But I run and bought a skateboard lately and I really get a kick out of that. So I think sport is about enjoying your body. Not bad, Isn’t it? Enjoy! 🙃
Hi Tanner, nice part 3. Coming out is a process & I'm glad you are becoming more comfortable in your sexuality & life. You deserve respect & acceptance. Excited for you beginning college, good luck :)
