    Okay so if some of you recall ive put the fact im gay on my about me.


    Had some replies (all from girls) saying that its a good thing and they were;nt honestly surprised.

    Now ive got a message (in txt spk :eusa_doh:slight_smile:

    saying

    the person who sent me it was my best friend for a about a year or so.

    He's 'old fashioned', shall we say, and i know he'll be wary of it.

    Some of you will say if he was that good of friend he would'nt be like that.
    Well he would.

    I can see him telling the other lads from school and they can have a good ol' chortle about it.
    Okay so schools over and i shouldn't care.

    The only reason im bothered is the fact i like the lads from school.
    With all my other friends being mainly girls i like to out with them and have an ol' fashioned piss up.

    But with this they'll probably stereotype me to a 'fag'.
    And then most likely just spread the rumour.

    Also, its the phrasing of it. Minus the txt spk if he just said 'Are you gay?'
    I would have replied immediately with a yes.
    Its that 'Your not....are you?' in the sense they're pretty sure im not but they know its a high possibilty, and the don't like that high possibilty.

    God damn it.
    Im dying to just type yes and tell myself i don't care if his opinion changes becuase it's his loss for being so predjudice.
    But i can't.

    :help:

    That's up to him whether or not he wants to make it an issue with your other schoolmates. And it's up to them what to do with the information.

    I think your response was spot on. :slight_smile:

    So what happened?
    I know it sounds bad but these are stories and I wanna know the ending.
    I hope nothing bad comes out of telling him. (Bad pun, I know. <.<)

    I totally agree with Lex. Just a light hearted response like that should show him that YOU are comfortable with it and HE has to deal with it.

    Hopefully, he will. If he doesn't, just give him time to think and see what happens.

    I really like the "sorry ol chum" idea. I mean, it seems to me that the text your friend sent was full of fear. I think people when they afraid, it stems out of something they blatently just don't understand. I think you are right by thinking some of the people at school are going to react negatively towards the idea of your being gay. But I think it is because A) they are scared of something they do not know about or B) some could potentially be gay and are scared, so its easier to take it out on you until they figure it out

    Just stay strong. They will come around. You are young, things will get different as they grow with the idea :slight_smile:

    Good for you. Live your life for yourself, not for others. If someone has a problem with you being gay, that is their problem and a reflection on them, not you.

    Oo its important to read those emails from the bottom up.. And Meatspin is the greatest thing since sliced bread, if i can find away to get that as moveable wallpaper i would die happy.

    *edit* Maybe i should settle for making that my homepage >.<

    It's good to see it all worked out.
    Well he's still talking to you, and as far as I know he seems fine with it. Not that I'm an expert.
