Treated Differently?

ummmmmmm....i'm not out to my family, but all my friends are great. we're still great.

 

All my friends who I've come out to treat me just the same. Given though, that I tested the waters on their stances before divulging this information.

 

nope, not treated differently at all

 

One thing about my family is that my dad has stopped telling gay jokes, and sometimes it's awkward when gay things on TV are mentioned. By my parents don't treat me any differently because of it.

 

My son and I are closer since he came out. We talk more openly about relationships and our feelings :icon_bigg and his dad hasn't changed his attitude one iota and still manages to say as many hurtful, thoughtless things as before :icon_sad:

So the only changes, as far as I am concerned, are positive ones.

I think you would soon pick up on people who only wanted to be friends with you for the novelty value of a 'gay friend' so I wouldn't let that stop you doing what you feel you need to do.

 

The people I came out to aren't treating me any differently. We're actually closer then ever.

 

People treat me the same, they are till my family and my friend

Th ematter is not you are gay/bi/str9, the matter is your inner person, how you treat and response to others

Someday, human will have to understand being gay/bi/lesbian is as normal as straight

 

I have the same problem right now.

 

im now treated the same as ever but it takes like 6 mnths - 1 year for ppl to fully accept you and that, but after tht intial shock most ppl wontn treat u differently fortunately =]

 

I think my parents and I are closer now. Beyond that, everyone still treats me the same.

 

My Q is: will arogant teens accept thatone of their friends is gay???

 

Yes, you will find out who your real friends are. Guaranteed.

 

This week has been the the emotional rollercoaster of my life and its not over. I am 25 and finally admitted to myself that i am gay, deep down i have known for a while but could never admit. I am in the Royal Navy and enjoy it very much, but being in this job i found hard to come out.

On Sunday i told my mum in starbucks that i was gay, she was very supportive, and so were my sister and dad.

Today (Thursday, a really really long day that i am glad is over) i admitted to my work mates that i was gay, i told them at the end of the working day so i would not have to see there reactions straight away, but tomarrow is d-day for me, for 1st time i will receive how people treat me for being me.

I still have many friends to tell outside of work, i know for sure one of them will never speak to me again, but i hoping that the rest of my friends will accept me for me.

No matter how many people i tell its still does not seem to get any easier, but for me once they all know i will be happy with myself and living my life.

The people that dont want to know me from tomarrow i will just have to forget about.

Many thanks to this site i wish i found it earlier - sorry if my post not totally irrelevent.

P.S so nervous about tomarrow

 

Congrats Balin.

 

The only thing that really changed when I came out was that I can now talk with my friends and family about being gay. Aside from that, no one treats me any better or worse.

 

Well at least you've taken the first step, saying it out loud. (*hug*)
As for telling people outside this community, even I haven't had the courage to do that, so well done. That takes guts, but being in the RN, I suppose that just comes naturally.
Anyway, well done, and hi. :smilewave

 

My mom and dad have not treated me differently at all! They've not really talked about it since I told them - but that's OK. They haven't acted any differently towards me either, so that's fine with me.

 

Well when I first came out too my group of friends back home all the girls stopped being touchy feely flirting with me bu other than that they slowly warmed back up too me so No not so much.
