One of my friends is really religious and he is an open homophobe. He will talk shit on gays any chance he gets. I am honestly pretty sure if i came out to him he would be disgusted and probably run away lmfao... So...with people like this, should i - -just directly come out to him -let him find out from mutual friends -never speak to him again and just save myself the inevitable embarrassment
I think you should just tell him or let him find out from a mutual friend. If you are ok with who you are, it really shouldn't matter what he thinks. As long as you have other friends that support you, it's all ok. (*hug*)
I feel you. My little brother once said that if I was gay he would disown me (thanks bro). Anyways, I think you should tell them regardless of what they think. And it's better if they hear it from you rather than second-hand, to avoid misinformation. If they run away, then they weren't your friends in the first place.
