    I assume he means coming out. I think that's probably what most queer people fear blowing up in their faces--especially on a forum like this.

    Hoping, yeah, the fear is usually always there until you have some positive experiences to counteract it. It can take a while for coming out to feel normal, let alone easy. But it can and does happen--just usually not right away.

    dont tell anyone that will affect big in your life, you have to keep some warning, eventhough
    it's graet to come out but dont do it so it'll over board.

    yah i no what you mean about saying the words "I'm gay" and it getting stuck in your throat. It's so nerve wrecking each time I'm about to say it i'm never able to just do it. I think the first thing is to be able to tell yourself "I'm gay" and accepting it.
