    During the summer holidays I have been very busy and caught up with my sexuality. This has brought me to a point where I want to come out to more people and that is what I have done. I started by telling three people and these three people have allowed me to come out to so many more! In total, this summer holiday I have came out to eleven people in total! That's a lot, and it's mainly thanks to three people. Although there was two bad responses, most of them were good and supportive and I'm at a point where I don't want to hide who I am anymore and that's what I'm trying not to do!

    I'm sure a lot of you are curious about the bad reactions I got so I'll tell you the story!
    Alright, so I was at my friends sleep over (this friend is one that was part of the first three I told this holiday) I'll call her L and we were in a woodland area. So L comes up to me and recommends I tell them, so I give her the go ahead and she does it. A minute or two later I hear them mumbling to each other "Wow, I cannot believe he's gay. That is so wrong, like a man shouldn't see another mans genitalia." (They used a much ruder word) What they said at the time affected me a fair bit, even a few of my other friends thought it was wrong what they said. However the bit I really hated was what happened during the night. We were all about to sleep and one of the ones that took it badly. I'll call him G said that I would probably rape him during the night and other mean comments. This at the time really affected me in a hurtful way, however I tried to hide it. This person, G hurt me a fair bit And the bit that I find annoying is that he is ginger. The reason I find this annoying is because it has made me have a slight grudge on gingers that I didn't have before.

    Thank you for reading this!
    Kind regards, Creator.

    Congratulations! The feeling of not having to hide from a particular person is definitely worth it. :slight_smile:

    Haha yeah, it is a good feeling. However the bad reactions were quite hurtful as they wee very homophobic about it.

    Congratulations.
    The one good thing about a bad reaction is that you now know who is a total twat! and you can organize your life to have nothing to do with them.
    Stay strong and live your life on your terms.



    P.S. Being "a ginger" is a phase he will grow out of it, I was a 'ginger', now I'm grey and bald :tears:

    Congratulations, I'm glad it went well overall! :icon_bigg
    Don't mind those who made the hurtful comments, they're ignorant and don't know any better. Focus on the ones it went well with :slight_smile:
