Sounds really positive; good to know that you've found support rather than condemnation. I'm curious to know how that came about - who are these people, how did you choose the people you told, did it have any negative consequences, would you be 'allowed' to have a YF, and would you want one (understanding a YF relationship as emotional not sexual), do have any form of regular engagement with the people 'accountability' etc?

Hope that's a useful set of questions as they are the sorts of issues that people do worry about when they consider being open about the issue with people IRL.
