ok so i would have liked to do this face to face but i am half way across the world at the moment and i just HAD to tell them... so i copped out and did it face book style... so i told my friends wife a few weeks ago and shes been wanting to talk to my friend about it really bad but he hadnt known yet... i really wanted to do it face to face but... i was like whatever ill just get it over with and then she can tell him all about her plans she wants to make with me... ugh like show me will and grace, take me to gay bars, yada yada lol.. so heres how the convorsation went.. tell me what you think... Carl bang bang beautiful have you ever heard of the westboro baptist church? 10:20pmRyan no 10:20pmCarl the ones who protest at gay soldiers funerals the GOD HATES FAGS people Ryan ya, i brought brownies to our last meeting 10:21pmCarl f*** off lol yeah so they're protesting at lady gagas concerts cause she support us..... i mean gays..... 10:23pmRyan ok lol 10:23pmCarl they're douche bags who the f*** protests at a f***ing funeral 10:24pmRyan even if its hitlers funeral you don't do that haha 10:25pmCarl right? 10:26pmRyan no s*** regardless 10:27pmCarl i mean its not like being gay is anything like being a murderuous facist but still.. 10:29pmRyan of course not, hey i gt shower and get ready for my parents 10:29pmCarl alright but hey 10:29pmRyan huh 10:29pmCarl i want to get something straight im not.... HAH ttyl 10:30pmRyan later Than while this is going on my friends wife was like "Did you just tell Ryan?" "He's saying I think Carl just told me he was gay and he's talking all fast, lol" than I tell her "there now you can talk to him about it" than he logs back on and says 10:52pmRyan hey don't worry about nothing, it's your life and you need to make the choices that make you happy, gtg though i'll be on later i'll start logging on more too 10:52pmCarl yeah lets talk later k? 10:54pmRyan k, later Im really happy I told him but I wish I was there in the room with him to see his reaction. I told Sarah to tell Ryan "Pleeease dont be afraid to hug me when I come home, I love you as a friend and hope you still do too" which Im sure he wont be all werid about it. But anyway what do you guys think off how I came out to him?
I think it worked marvelously! Congratulations. This is similar to how I came out to one of my best straight friends. He is actually more affectionate than ever now... dunno what that's about.
YAY Congrats for telling him!! I really hate to tell people to their face, I get this sort of sick feeling but meh. WELL DONE and I'm guessing he took it well. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
it doesnt matter how you come out in the end, as long as you do and you get the right reaction, it is good seeing their reactions first hand but usually you will see a similar expression when you have that first in-depth conversation with them about your sexuality, as it will happen and probably multiple time. I came out to my best friend in the same way aswell and it has worked out fine for me =]
congrats but way to avoid saying you're gay ha ha ha. i could never come out that way, i'd worry too much that they wouldnt take the hint. I usually just turn the topic to relationships and wait for the "how's the lady situation going?" Then I tell them that I'm gay.
Coming out of Facebook isn't lame. I came out to everyone on myspace. Not the traditional way, but still, its coming out and everyone knows, which is the main point.
Congratulations on coming out to your friends! There is no right or wrong way to come out. Glad that it went well!
