    Hi guys, I'm after some advice.
    I know that I am not straight, that's clear, but I don't know exactly what I do identify as, I currently lean towards bi. I have a gay male friend who is 10 years older than me and like a big brother and I would like to go to him for advice or a chat to come out but don't want to make things awkward. Is it the done thing to go to a friend like this? Would he judge me for being bi/otherwise unsure when he is gay? Also I don't see him that often so contact is mainly text/chat which might not help. But anyway, sorry for the rambling, what would you do?!

    Hi !

    Actually one of the first persons I came out to was a gay friend of mine, it kind of helped cause I felt he understood all the process of coming out etc. Your friend might have good advice for you, or just a ear to lend which sometimes is all you need.
    I think you should go for it.
