    This is nothing recent but a thread reminded me about it, a while ago I found out one of my good friends from highschool is gay, I read it on his myspace. Now I had my suspitions about it during the last few years of school and I didn't even know if he knew that I was bi but I suspect he did due to the orientation on my myspace and the fact that it would have gone around during school.

    When I found out I was shocked and kinda a bit weirded out... Has anyone else felt like that when you found out a friend/reletive was gay? Because they're so close to you you don't want to think that they have the hots for ya.

    While I was in high school, I became friends with a guy. We found out in our junior year that we were distant cousins. About a year after I graduated college, we found each other on a personals site. That is probably the most awkward situation I've had to date.

    I start out with a perfect "like what?!?!!?" usually, but then a few minutes later I'm into w00t! mode. Especially if they are guys I crushed on :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I would love to find out that a close person is gay/bi, at least I would have someone IRL to talk about it...

    Hahaha I helped a friend come out...but he turned out to be a little strong with suggesting that we should experiment. So I turned him down and made him go straight back into the closet...

    Maybe I should refer him to here...

    But maybe not....He kinda scares me.

    Nobody in my entire year level in high school was an out gay or bisexual person. (Somewhat including me, since I came out to my best friends just after school ended)

    Last year, one of my older brother's friends told me that he was gay. I was soooooooo surprised because I never even considered the possibility that he was gay. He's also incredibly hot and cute. He and I sort of had a thing in April/May of last year, but that was quite complicated, seeing as he goes to school kind of far away from here.
     
  10. The only time it ever caught me off guard was when one of my friends who I've known since I was real little said she was bi. I would have never expected because she's very man hungry. I still thought it was cool though.

    So... when I read this the first time, I thought you said YOUR older brother...

    I was a little confused, good thing I read it again :slight_smile:

    Just about everyone in my close circle of friends is bi. I wouldn't have put it past any of them, but still, when I found out, I was shocked by the coincidence.

    I found out that a friend I had from HS was gay, from his Myspace page. That surprised me, a bit. I've talked to him a little bit, since we graduated. I'm kind of jealous, as he chose a college that actually supports gay people... :dry:

    About a month ago, I found out a girl that I kind of knew was a lesbian. I definitely didn't expect it, but I didn't care. Hey, it's one more person to be able to talk to... :slight_smile:

    I've never had it happen quite like that. I've had a friend that I've known my whole life and she asked me to be her grad date. Me, I agree to go as long as long as we're still only friends. I started to panic later because I wasn't out yet and I wasn't sure what was going to happen at the grad-party. A short while before the graduation she told me she was gay and that was a huge relief and I ended up telling her I was gay too. In the end it made for a very relaxing and enjoyable night.
