A few days ago I posted a thread about being irritated that my roommate (and some people in general) don't take my subtle hints about being gay. So pretty much we were just chatting and what not and it was something about gay rights and I said, "I just can't understand why some people think it's a choice." And pretty much he said something along the lines of, "well I'm not sure if you're gay." I'm pretty sure he was actually semi joking, but I just said, "I am and I'm not joking." He was just like "ok" and then we went to Target and continued on with the day as normal. All in all, it went pretty well. I knew he would be cool with it. So, today was pretty good!
It's great that you seized the opening, and decided to come out to him. Glad that the day continued normally. Congratulations!
