    So i was on the topic of gay with some friends i have recently started to hang out with / get close too. i decided it was a good moment to tell them that i am bisexual as they all seemed pretty positive on the subject. When i said it, they didn't make a big deal out of it but i could tell it was awkward. I wanted to tell them because i don't want to hide it anymore and if i get a girlfriend i don't want them to be all 'you lied to me' or 'i didnt know you were gay' and then have to make a big deal out of it. i want it to be expected?

    How did you come out, are you fully out? and have i made a mistake?

    Hugs and kisses (*hug*) (&&&)

    First, it's never a mistake to be honest about who you are! I'm glad they were positive about it, definitely makes the experience a whole lot better. Having friends you can be yourself with is always great!

    Any friends who I have come out to, kind of already knew. So it was more them saying I was a homosexual, then saying it myself.

    You definitely didn't make any mistakes. Even if things seem awkward for a while, just think - wasn't it awkward for you when you first had the idea you liked a girl? Give your friends a little time to get accustomed to the new situation and I'm sure they'll like you no matter what. Congratulations on being true to yourself and others.

    I give you props, being in this age group and coming out to some people, I could never do that. Good job!

    Congrats to you... its a big step... you have done the right thing... and as many have said and will continue to say "if they change and start to treat you badly, they were never good friends to begin with' Great job!
