    Well, actually I'm out to two more people. haha, so today I got an IM from a friend from high school (not a really close friend). I haven't spoken to him since graduation. In High school, I was completely closeted, not cause I was confused, or afraid, but because I didn't think my sexual orientation was anyone's business but my own.

    ...anyway...

    So I got the IM's...I'm just going to post the transcript (just the important stuff, no filler haha):

    Me (9:14:39 PM):so what else is good?
    Him (9:19:39 PM):nothing much
    Him (9:19:41 PM):how about you
    Me (9:20:01 PM):nothin really...
    Me (9:20:20 PM):except well... can you keep a secret?
    Him (9:21:33 PM):astonished:fcourse i dont talk to anyone from high school anyway
    Me (9:21:46 PM):umm... I'm gay
    Him (9:21:55 PM):we knew (him and his friend Kelly who was also with him)
    Him (9:21:57 PM):recently
    Him (9:22:00 PM):welcome
    Him (9:22:01 PM):lol


    I must say I've been wanting to come out to someone from High School for a while now, and while he wasn't my first choice, it went well. And it felt great, like being on a roller-coaster! haha. One down, and 6.8 Billion to go! haha(!)

    Congrats on coming out to someone from highschool. Younger people seem to be getting the hang of this diversity thing making it much easier. People now know how hard and emotional this time is.
    (*hug*)Glad for you

    Thanks.

    Thanks. Idk if you were making a general statement there, or if you were making a reference to my situation, but I just wanted to point out that I'm older than you :lol:...but I get what ur saying :slight_smile:

    Thanks, It is a bit easier than coming out in person, but I think I'd prefer to come out in person to some...

    I did forget to mention that my friend is gay, so I knew he would take it well...but it was still a bit nerve racking to say the least.

    Thanks a lot. I hope it does get easier,cause for one, I still need to come out to my family, and if it doesn't get easier, I don't know if I'll ever do it :-\

    I say just do it the way you want to...I've learned there's no real right way to do it I've done it twice through IM, once through email, and once in person.

    Wow, that turned out well, most of my old school mates don't know I am gay yet, so I don't know how they would react if they found out.
