Default oh. my. GOD. >.<

I had the strangest 2 days.
yesterday, some people were acting gay and annoying, and there were topics of gays talked about in school.
TODAY, more gay acting, 3/5 lessons where the gossip of the lesson was gay, my tutor group discussed if someone was gay and how to define it, my friend asked me several times about sexual things, orientation being one of them (I replied to all "I don't answer those sorts of questions" X3) AND my aunt said she may "turn" gay as it's easier, then made a huge song and dance out of it.

sometimes I think god WANTS me to come out to EVERYONE

anyone else get what I mean?

Just going to put it out there...

Maybe YOU want to be out, and so your picking up on these things alot more than before? They will always be there, and often you just dont notice them, but sometimes when your getting tired of being in the closet they pop up like radar.

oh no, this was by far the most noticable thing ever. not once has there been so much talk about it. for once, I was a little scared that I could be outed at any moment. that has never happened before O.O
before, maybe one lesson. I could count references on my hand. today? I couldn't count it on 10 hands O.O

It's funny how when somethings playing on your mind you'll have the odd day where it keeps cropping up in the weirdest places

When people in your tutor group were talking about it, how did they sounds about it? For it, against it, indifferent?

But did they seem, y'know, ok with it? I only ask cus you said you were scared you could be outed, but if no one was screaming 'Death to the Puffs' or anything then maybe people would be alright with it if you did one day. I'm not saying go in tomorrow and say "yeah, those gays we were talking about yesterday, I'd be one of those", but maybe it'd give you peace of mind to know that when you're one day ready to come out on a larger scale, the people around you (ie not close friends but still people you deal with day to day) would be ok with it

Well, I ain't as brave as you Adam, so I'd have to be a little more subtle

I'm not sure I was very clear before, sorry. Not suggesting you should come out like, not over this alone, but just trying to make best of a weird situation. It was casual, sur,e but if no one / few were being obviously homophobic, then I'd kinda take the silver lining approach and think "hey, maybe one day..."

I am never coming out to the school. those people that act like they're gay and love me would have a field day. from annoying flirting and hitting to constant hassle or worse is not a good step X(

Fair enough. I don't think I'd have wanted to or even been able to come out back then in school, had I even been aware of it of course (I was a late bloomer hehe), glad I was finally able to get my point across though, feel like I'm thinking one thing and typing another today

well, having your best friend run around naked in a changing room when you are 10 does help
I always knew. it was never really new and I never really came out to myself
