    Hey EC! :smilewave

    Some of you might remember my thread from a few weeks ago stating that I had just accidently came out to my best friend after having many drinks. My friend had stopped talking to me and the whole thing seemed like a mess for a while. However, just recently now that some time has passed we're back to being best buddies. He completely accepts me for who I am and even asked me to be his best man at his wedding!

    I'm so happy and feels amazing to be out to one person! Now, if only I had the courage to come out to my family and the rest of my friends..... one step at a time right? :icon_bigg

    Re: Came out to best friend

    Thanks guys. I just wanted to give an update to my story hoping to encourage guys and girls who are in the same situation. If they're your real friends, they'll stick beside you no matter what. Sure, it might take them a while to accept it but the important thing is that they eventually do. :icon_bigg

    Best of luck to you my friend! You'll know when you're ready. :slight_smile: granted, my coming out wasn't planned and did it while I was drunk. At the time I thought I had ruined my friendship but man was I wrong. My buddy and I are closer now than ever, it feels great to be out to someone!

    I've got even more great news. I managed to come out to my cousin when she saw something was bothering me. She totally accepts me for who I am. :slight_smile:

    CONGRATULATIONS! And thank goodness for booze as well. LOL :slight_smile:

    I think you are meant to be best of friends with that guy. He sounds totally awesome. Maybe he was just utterly shocked at the beginning because for him, your revelation came out of nowhere but now I am so glad to see that after overcoming that initial shock, he finally understood who you really are. :slight_smile:

    I think coming out to your best friend and your cousin sounds really, really promising. Maybe all your friends and family members will accept you for who you are as well. Take it one person at a time. But things are definitely looking up for you! So hang in there and be happy always!

    Cheers!
    Sam

    Congrats! Coming out to someone so close is really hard. I'm still deciding how to cone out to my very straight best friend.

    Has he been your friend for long? What are his views on homosexuality? If he's a really close friend he'll accept you. My buddy is super straight and took it a bit hard at first but he came around. :slight_smile: Coming out to your friend might be hard but you'll know when it's time. Unfortunately in my case I told him while I was drunk but it turned out alright in the end. :slight_smile:

    He's made it clear that he's okay with it. He said "it doesn't matter what 'parts' a person has as long as you love him" (a very odd thing for him to say, I agreed thinking that was a massive hint). We haven't been friends for long (like 5 months) but we're really close, we both agree that it feels like we've known each other since we were kids (kindred spirits I guess). Thanks for the advice and again, congrats!
