    I finally had it. I didn't want to stay in the closet any longer. I already have planned this out for a long time. Today, I took a sharpie to my hoodie. I wrote "I'm queer, I'm here, get used to it." I just felt so impulsive. I don't know what I was thinking, but it all worked out for the best. I'm not saying you should take such a direct approach, in fact, thinking back on it now, I wish I did something a little less public, bet meh. I actually got a lot of good responses to it. Of course there were the lot that we're bad and such...

    Well, let's just say...

    "Coming out is like a bag of assorted nuts. There are the bitter nuts, the sweet nuts, and the religious nuts."

    I'm so happy. (!):eusa_danc:smilewave:icon_redf:grin::icon_bigg

    Wow, that is so awesome, now me I'm the kind of guy who always second guesses himself so I could never do that but really that is amazing.

    I tend to be pretty bold so I would have probably done something similiar to that if I was totally ready to be publicly out.

    Indeed :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm part of my school's GSA(Gay Straight Association) now, and I'm designing it's website ^^

    It's good to be outed, I'm just lucky my outing went smoothly, and I hope the same for others.
