I came out to one of my roommates literally just now, and my heart is pounding, I'm shaking like a leaf, and my blood pressure just skyrocketed, but I'm out to one of my roommates. I wanted to tell all my roommates a while ago, but I kept making excuses not to tell them. But now, I got a chance to talk to this roommate one-on-one. I started out by saying "dude, there's something I want to tell you." And then I started rambling on about how I wanted to tell him earlier, but he interrupted and said "just say it dude." And then I just said it, "I'm gay." He just said "are you?" I said yeah, and he was totally cool with it. He said that he had no issues with sexual preferences. He asked me how long I knew, he said it must have been tough for me knowing all that time, he even said that I could talk to him if I had any problems. I'm still so nervous that I don't really know what to feel, but I think it's safe to say that it couldn't have gone better. So, one roommate down, two to go!
Update! I just came out to another roommate! Once again, he was totally cool with it. I was still extremely nervous when I told him, but even though I'm still kinda tense, it's not nearly as awkward as it was before. I'm really happy with how things are turning out so far. Thanks for all the support guys!
And update 2. I just came out to the third roommate! He was the hardest to pin down, but I got him, and he didn't care at all. He just said "Oh...okay!" He said it didn't change our relationship and that it wasn't a big deal. All of my roommates are awesome. I was so hesitant to have just one (let alone three) roommates because I was so paranoid about how they'd react to my sexuality, but now? I'm glad I met my roommates, I'm glad I'm rooming with them, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you all so much for all the support and advice since I came here!
