Out on Facebook?

[rocking23]

This is a question to people who are out to only family and a few close friends but anyone else can answer :)

Are you out on Facebook/Myspace?
For guys, do you have "Interested in men, woman or did you leave that blank"
For girls, do you have "Interested in woman, men or did you leave that blank"

Answer the poll, it would be interesting to see who's out online.

myspace is blank cuz i have family on there
its out on facebook but hidden from family

[smilealways]

I left it blank, because my flatmates are on there and they dont know about it yet. We are planning to live together again next year so I have to see what would be the best thing to do.

[Geist]

I put gay on both even though there are some people on both that I would rather not know, but they are not exactly the observant sort so no one ever found out through either I had to come out in person if I wanted them to know.

[rosiejuly3]

I have my myspace set as bi, but I don't have my fam on there. None of them know yet *besides my mom* and I have no clue how they would react..

[Joey]

Yup. Everybody on facebook that I talk to on a regular basis know anyways.

[Gamer am I]

I'm completely open about it, plus, none of my extended family are on facebook, so I have is set as "interested in guys".

[Derek the Wolf]

Interested in: Women, Men.
Open to anyone of my friends. Noone in my family except my sister uses facebook, and she has no problem with gay people. Awesome.

[wraptenigma]

Still have it straight...haven't told all the closest people to me yet.

[Beth]

when i set it to interested in women i was amazed more ppl didnt see it tbh

[Brandford]

Technically mine says bi on my myspace because i am technically bi by one percent

[agraves]

Myspace and Face book are both set to bi, though im compltely gay. I guess I'm one of those people that believes it easier for someone to accept bi than gay right away. I have friends and family on both but either they don't notice it or refuse to acknowledge it. I'm only out to a few close friends and 1 sister.

[sngl]

GAY...both myspace and facebook...:grin:
But I'm only out to a few friends/family members

[ccdd]

I was straight on Facebook, but when I realised I was bi/gay I removed it altogether

[ccdd]

I think that people probably did notice, but didn't quite know what to say or if they should say anything. I notice people's orientations (and I know others do), but I doubt I would ever comment on it if they changed it - unless I knew them well in which case I might send them a private message.

I have mine blank, but my wall hints towards the dark side :p

The wall is blocked from my mom and dad, but my sister, uncles, and cousins all can read it.

[beyondken]

I'm almost to the point where I'm quite okay with my gayness being publicly known, just need to get the word out to the family (some of which I have on fbook, but not myspace) first. I haven't got anything about sexuality on either.

Though I intend to put "In a relationship with [my girlfriend]" on Facebook and I'll be happy to put up some kind of pride-ish banner or whatever, once the rest of the family knows, I'm going to leave the orientation/interested-in fields blank.

More people filling them out just makes it seem weirder (/more suss) when people say nothing. And I think leaving it blank is good. I want identity on profiles to be about interests and stuff, rather than having the first things I see about somebody being like.. "Gay 23-year-old male from Connecticut" which really tells you nothing about character except from stereotypes. And down with stereotypes.

[firecausesburns]

I'm out on both. I don't really care who knows.

[Behling]

left it blank, no one has said a word

[Wander]

Sometimes I feel like the only teenager in the world who doesn't have a MySpace page, a Facebook, or the desire to create one.

[Wired106]

I used to have it say Interest in: Women, on facebook, but like 4 months ago I took it down completely so it doesn't say anything. One day though, i'll have to change it =]

[Ciel]

On facebook I just left it blank, on myspace I had it as straight for quite a while but like a few months ago I just made it so it was blank. On my myspace page I have it so that entire section doesn't even show up on my profile though so it doesn't really matter what I have it as on there.

it wasnt on there straight away.i put it on a few months after so my friends had no reason to randomly go lookin at it i guess

[Bevo]

At the moment its blank and it always has been, i dont think anyone would get the hint; its sort of a "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

[Beth]

i always get suspicious of ppl that leave it blank
but then i realised that sum of my straight friends dont put anything.i dont know why

[Shrug]

i dnt have a facebook, bt i do have a myspace! i left it blank 4 along time b4 and after i kame out, bt about 4 months ago set it 2 gay!!!

[Nevermind]

All the people I have added on facebook i'm out to, but I still leave it blank.

I don't know why but the thought of declaring that "I'm interested in women" just makes me feel embarassed.

[Cheese Love]

I recently came on out on myspace and set my profile so say lesbian :]

I'm not really sure about facebook, though. I have tons of family, but I also have them on limited profiles so it isn't much of a threat. I believe in the next year or so I'll add "Interested in men/women" just to ease into it.

[EthanS]

Mines blank, I just cant be asked putting nething up

[Fiorino]

I had mine as straight and then I took it off completely.
I just tried to put it as "men and women" but I have to
block like, literally 50 people to do that and Facebook
was being a bitch. It's so sad-those people shouldn't
even be in my friends. My sister is part of them though.
I changed my status to "you people disgust me" though.
I'm sure my sister will inquire about that, since she is
a nosy b**** sometimes.

[lap531]

Im out on facebook

[Smiley1123]

Mine says straight as I am not really out to too many people

[Trumpetplyer23]

I put it up as bi about 2 months ago.

I recently added someone I go to school with that I haven't directly told.

She'll get it eventually.

[Psychedelic Bookmarks]

Don't worry, wander, I use Bebo but you're really not missing much. It's mainly just a good way to waste time! ;)

I leave mine blank about my sexuality. But I do have a rainbow "peace" skin.

[riddlerno1]

mine is currently blank, but i have set up another facebook account which does say 'intrested in men'. Its the one that family or friends dont have access to. Your probably wondering what use it is but there i can sorta be more true to myself without anyone knowing

[SqueakyBubbles9]

I left it blank. Although, you can tell by my stickers and pictures and other minor details. hahahaha

[Helene]

I left my facebook blank even though I thought I was straight when I created it. I am out on paganspace. My paganspace is under my craft name which is similar to the name I use here and my facebook is under my mundane/real name and my high school friends don't know. I have a piece of facebook flair that says "BI the way don't assume I'm straight" but not everyone will notice it.

[davo-man]

Mine is interested in men, so yeah, gay :D No-one's said anything, but I think that's cos everyone already knows

[berileos]

I haven't even found that option(new on facebook),but when I find it I'll leave it blank...:D

[Defender]

Gay on FB. I don't have MySpace.
I don't really care who finds it either heh
