Pride - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

28th Apr 2010, 02:07 PM

So I'm stongly considering doing my official coming out next friday. What I want to do is put something on facebook and then just leave for the evening, (gonna see Iron Man 2 FTW!). But I dont wanna change just the "interested in" section cuz 1. idk if it would put something on the news feed and 2. I want people to know that I am proud of who I am and that I am done living in fear of others. It does help a little that I graduate in a month and I'll never have to see them again. But idk, do you think a status update would be to much?

the status update wouldn't be too much =] have some fun with it while you're at it too, might as well confess your love for certain well known guys

i did a status update.. still not many people noticed for a long time.

i'd try to make it something humorous and not just, "look--my interested in says i'm gay now" though.

I had it on my profile on hi5 (which was what all of my friends used) for...like a month or 2. No one, I mean really no one noticed! Not even a person...It was kind of depressing xD I completly gave up on that method xD

But good luck to you

"FINALLY I'M FREE FROM NARNIA".

I think if I did that, people would just think someone had hacked into my Facebook page so make sure you make it seem like it is you doing the update.
