    If you are having second thoughts about coming out and feel it was not your time, you could delete the bulletin and just set your orientation to nothing until you are prepared and feel ready to come out - now that you have this new information about Alabama's feelings towards homosexuality.

    The only gay guy in Alabama? I doubt it. Though this does remind me of Daffyd on the Little Britain sketches. :grin: (If you've never seen it then you'll have no idea what I'm on about).

    Anyways, you will get homophobia no matter where you are. If you aren't ready for it then do what Connor suggested above, but chances are that you'll never be in a place that will have everybody accepting your orientation. That's just a dream world. :frowning2:

    Well you could do as Martini suggested or you might just leave it and maybe your revelation will give somebody else the courage to step forward and come out also! You just never know.

    You could always try doing an advanced search, searching for people who live in Alabama and who are gay/bi, and then you'll know if you really are the only one because it would only come up with you lol.

    But I wouldn't worry about it too much, I'm sure there are plenty of gay people in Alabama really, they just either aren't out or don't make a public thing of it.

    And plus the fact that not everyone uses myspace :wink:

    You, without a doubt, unless your town is very small, may not be the only gay guy living there. I do not know much of Alabama, being from Pennsylvania, but unless they are chasing you down the street with pitchforks, you should be strong and come out to at least a few people. it may encourage others to follow you.

    MySpace searches also only search people over 18, I believe.

    I have to say, you're braver than I for posting it on Myspace. Then again, I have some people in my family I want to come out to, before I announce it to the whole world.
