	hehe Thanks Gwen :D You're so sweet!

	Haha, I'm really really excited for you! It's really sad your girlfriends family won't come :( I really can't understand why you should hate someone for being gay or bisexual, like there is any big difference :-/ I hope you'll guys will be very happy :) And I can't wait to see the pictures :P

	Woa, I think I totally missed this thread. :\ Aw Kyla, I'm so happy for you! :) That was so sweet of Jen.. just the perfect proposal! I wish you and Jen alll the luck in the world. ^^ I'm sorry about how your brother reacted, but I think that he will get used to the idea after a while... i mean it's quite *heavy* news, if you get what I mean. But you already said that yourself. Good luck with the rest of your family. :)

	I think how your brother reacted was rather stupid :| (if I may say so..) I mean, there /are/ people who do choose/want to be bi/gay, but that's more to stand out, I think it is clear that if you are getting married that you are actually born that way.. And even if you don't believe that, you could still come to your sister's wedding.. Oh well, that's just one person saying that, I just hope for you that the rest of your family will actually be happy for you :D (Btw that was not meant as 'its only your brother', but more like 'this does not have to be how everyone reacts' :) )

Jenny	15th May 2006 - 03:20 pm
	Congratulations Kayla! I'm sure that your brother, will come to terms with it soon.. I admit, that if my sister told me that, then I'd be 'congratulations' but I guess I'd be a bit 'eh' at first. :(

	It sucks that your brother wasn't too...great about it. But at least he didn't disown you. Imagine the shock though. I'm sure it'll wear off in time and know that you were bi before you told him so you aren't going to be any different and he didn't have a problem with you then. ...If I made any sense. Also, great luck with the rest of the family. I hope they take it better. <3

	Congratulations Kyla!!! Is gay-marriage legal in Canada? If so, that's just one more thing to add to the list of why America sucks. Although I think we can marry in Massachusettes... but some states won't "recognize" that marriage once you return home. New York (where I live) once recognized it but I think they banned that rule. My sister is a lesbian and my dad is rather "ignorant" about it too. But in the way that he knows about her but doesn't like to talk about it. She's a HUGE gay activist leader... she's kind of overboard with it actually... she met with the Senators of New York and she's met all those gay famous people like Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler from X-Men) and Isabella Rosselini. Well, anyways, CONGRATULATIONS!!! That sounds so romantic... definitely a person to keep on to. When do you think you'll set the wedding date? Within the next 2 years or, the next 5?

Kyla	10th September 2006 - 06:22 am
	Thanks Drew! and yup, gay marriage is legal in Canada. That's really cool about your sis, I really admire gay activists, I could never do it. Not that I'm ashamed of being gay, but like any activism it takes a lot of dedication. I'm far too lazy :P Alan Cumming would be such a great person to meet, there's something about him I really like. We hope to marry within 2-3 years but who knows... it could be 5, it's all up in the air right now. We both want to get 'careers' not just jobs. Once I finish my school I'll probably work a few here and there jobs and then find one that I could imagine myself working at for a long time, if not forever and same with Jen.

	Congrats Kyla! :D

	Congratulations!! I hope your brother comes to your wedding, he might regret it in the future. I never had any gay friends til recently (not out of choice, I just never met any), I was worried how i would act differently when on my friends came out to me last year but we're tighter now than before, he's one of my best friends. My parents are really old fashioned, I think its a generation/traditionalist thing, they're not comfortable with the idea of me having friends of the non-straight variety which I think is sad and close-minded. I hope you have a wonderful wedding day, im sure it'll be beautiful :)

Kyla	10th September 2006 - 07:23 pm
	Thanks Niels and Rache. I've had gay friends even before I knew I was bi. Actually, I had this one guy friend who I had a crush on and he was my best friend. He would come over and sleep over a lot of the times (in my room, but on the floor) and my dad found out and had a hissy fit because I guess he thought we were doing stuff even though we weren't so I told my parents he was gay and he wouldn't lay a hand on me LOL. It worked too because he kept sleeping over :P I don't really know my dads feelings on gay people, he's said some rude things but in general he's a really nice guy so I have no idea. My mom, I think would be alright because she knew my gay friends well and always asks about what they're up to and we've gone to see one of my gay friends perform together (sing) and we even went to gay pride together with my gf (though she doesn't know shes my gf). She tells me she doesn't get bi people though. She says they need to pick a fence. Meh, whats wrong with having the best of both worlds? LOL, nah jk. I'm bi now but I'm pretty sure down the road I will really determine what I am.. I can only do that through experience. I've had many guy-partners but only one female - but I never loved one guy and I love my financee more than I could have ever imagined so I'm not sure if I am actually bi or lesbian.

	Wow Kyla. If I hear this kind of stories I always get kind of sad about the world. Not about your engagement of course girl, you rock! But about acceptance of love in general. Even if you're hetero, family and friends always seem to think he or she is the wrong choice. In my opinion? Go for it. If you really think she is the right one (which you obviously do) stick to her, and follow your heart. People who give you critisism may only envy you for your courage to come out (because they wouldn'tever dare that themselves) and for you finding the one you really really love, and even for you being happy! So I say CONGRATS!!! And you're a big hero doing what you really want to do, nevermind other people's opinions.

Kyla	12th September 2006 - 11:09 am
	Thank you Marleen :) You're so sweet!

marleen	12th September 2006 - 12:13 pm
	No thanks girl, I really mean it ;) I wish you an Jen all the luck of the world :)

Ooh_lalala	30th September 2006 - 01:33 pm
	Congratulations =D That is sooo sweet ^^ And I quickly read about that some people wont come? I think that is sooo sick? Why wont they come? I mean the love her/you isn't it? Meeh I really dont get that >_<

cait	30th September 2006 - 01:52 pm
	Congratulations, Kyla!! This must be so exciting for you :)
