    So I came out to my parents, I came out to my closest friends and I have taken a dont lie if they ask policy to other people. The one person I wasnt ready to come out to yet was my older brother who was the one who told me that I would kill my dad if I was gay.

    Anyway, If you want to keep your sexuality a secret DONT LEAVE EC OPEN WHILE PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR ROOM TALKING TO YOU!

    It turned out ok in the end (Praise the Sun!)

    He asked me if I was Gay, I said no which isnt a lie and I think the fact that I had EC open planted the seed into his head now that I might not be straight plus he said it wouldnt matter anyway (Not entirely sure he meant it but hell thats his problem).

    Just saying, talk about :***: ups. It was almost as awkward as the time I accidentaly came out on Facebook :lol:

    Well, good thing everything turned out ok in the end. It's for that very reason that I close EC whenever i leave my desk.

    I've done this a few times in the past... I just always have it open on my computer, so naturally people see it. I'm glad that things turned out well for you :slight_smile:

    To me, that wouldn't be a bad way of coming out actually.. It would at least be a conversation starter on the subject, that is what I am struggling with.. How to start the conversation and how to actually get the words out to begin the talk.

    I'm glad to hear this! :slight_smile: I think that some time down the road, you should sit down with them and have a talk about this. Just to make sure if they have any questions or doubts that they didn't get around to asking at that time.

    Doh! :eusa_doh: I wonder how many people are aware of this.

    As for The Color Purple, I hope nobody is aware of that one.
