    Hey guys, I'm 21 and out of the closet. I tell anybody who asks me that I'm gay. But otherwise, I'm very straight appearing because everybody assumes I'm straight. That's the trend anyway.... but I'm worried. I've been out of the closet for 3 years and I have been quite firm on it. I've been attracted to boys since 12. Gay porn. Gay sex. I've had a boyfriend. Been heartbroken by boys. But long story short, I've grown to a girl and thought about dating her. There is a good chance we would be, but it's just that she's interstate studying at the moment. She knows I'm "out" but is willing to let me explore with her. I'm afraid that if I go out with this girl, everybody's going to be all weird and questioning me and telling me that they never thought I was gay anyway.

    How should I go about this??? I'm not going to change or pretend, I just feel like people need to be more lenient and less questioning.. so when it happens, what should I do?

    Just be honest, really. That's all you can do. People think whatever they want to think anyway.
