    I pretty much told him I'm not interested in girls, and he didn't have a negative reaction. I don't think he cares. He occasionally references my homosexuality with a humorous tone, so if he's commenting me on how I'm gay, it's safe to assume he knows? I don't mind his jokes at all, they're pretty much harmless. Like if I comment that I like some woman's hairstyle he'll say "I thought you weren't into girls!" /in a joking tone.

    He's also said that he doesn't understand why I'd be in to other men, but he doesn't need to understand so-

    Also I doubt he'll tell my parents (that would be trouble)

    I'm kinda happy with myself over this. I don't have a lot of gay friends though, so I don't have a lot of encouragement or support :help:

    I think I'm starting to accept myself as gay and I'm finally able to see myself living that way in the future. Recently I've started to really feel happy when I see pro lbgt advances in the culture. (That's taken a lot of adjusting to) I actually am excited when I think about eventually being an openly gay musician. (There are very few and precious fewer whose music I actually enjoy) This is a big step forward for me!
