I've been giving some thought to this, especially since Oct. 11 came around. I've been wanting to come out for some time now, but I just end up saying no. I'm afraid of what my family will say, especially since I know what they think about homosexuals. But when I think of being out, I just feel that it could be easier for me. I'm not sure of what I can do, so can anyone give me some advice? If you need to know anything more I can answer any questions.
ooooooooo i thought u came out to frends hmmmmmmmm.... well I reckon u shud come out to ur closest frend first
Very. My mom even told me, 'cause we were talking about gay ppl, that I shouldn't even dare to be gay.
So's mine they sed gay ppl r crazy n stuff, but i dont care if they dont liek gays neway i werent gonna come out to them
diabolical doesnt sound nice.. well like i said u shud come out to ur closests frend then get support fromt hem to come out to the rest
Well, if your parents are too hard on gay people, then dont come out, since you still young, you can wait soemtimes later when you are more independent
How can I find out if my friends won't mind my being gay? 'Cause for my family, I'm pretty sure that I'll have to wait some time, 'till I don't depend on them.
:jawdrop: That seems a bit harsh! Im not sure about how you would find out about your friends but you could hint at the topic of homosexuality (in no way that makes them suspicious of you) and see how they react
I haven't come out at all but i no ppl who hav. I suggest asking someone who's out (and friendly) if u know anyone for support/advice. Atm i'm testing the water with my friends to see there tolerance levels. If ur disgusing homosexuality ask them what there stance is or what they'd do if there child was gay. But whoever u come out to first u shuld b really sure. If the persons even slightly homophobic don't come out to them. oh yea don't tell ur parents anytime soon because it sounds like it will take them along time 2 accept u and ur 2 young to go through that hardship.
That's kind of a problem. I don't know any other gay people here. Some of the people here, I won't even bother to tell because they're the ones that keep saying that gay is bad, lame or w/e. There's still a few that seem nice enough, but I've never actually brought up the gay topic. As for my parents, I'm not sure if they could ever understand. They're too close minded and stubborn.
