    So, the first person I ever came out to was my friend's boyfriend, Geoff. I told Geoff, that he could tell his bf, Sean (the original friend). Since then, Sean and Geoff have broke up, and Sean is now with a new guy, Gabe. (Sean and I went to highschool together in Arizona, but now he goes to college in New York, so I haven't seen too much of him since August, but Sean hosted a party last night in his (mom's) house. Gabe was there.


    So anywho, back to the party. Ok, party might be too strong of a word. It was a few friends drinking at a friend's house. Nothing too special. A little beer pong, a little flip cup. So, I'm in the kitchen (along with many other people) talking to Gabe. I don't entirely remember how this conversation went, but Gabe was saying something along the lines of how when he would meet a guy for the first time, or when he was talking to a guy, sometimes he would have difficulty turning off the "is this guy potential dating material" and he asked if I had the same issue with talking to men. Since there were quite a few people in the room, I simply said, well, I can tell you more about it in the other room. So, we refilled his drink (a rum and coke because he is allergic to wheat, which = no beer) and went to the family room, that was all but empty besides a leftover Christmas tree.

    We sit down and I'm like, so, I like girls, and pretty much no one knows... so we start taking about being gay and such, and he has some interesting insight. He's one of the few gay people I know who believes that it's a choice. I wanted to question him more on the topic, but my friend Elly walked in and I didn't want to seem too curious about gay ness when she was in there. It was really nice talking to him, even tho I was drunk at the time.

    He left for New York today as he just was in Arizona for a week with Sean. This semester he's going to do a study abroad in Amsterdam, so it's not like I'll be seeing much of him this semester. Hopefully he'll come with Sean in May/June.

    Anywho, it's always nice coming out to a fellow gay. No judgment from that direction. I do hope I see him again, as he is a really cool person.

    That's cool. But he thinks it's a choice?!? And he himself is gay? Odd.

    But it IS great to have other gay people in your life so you can talk to them about stuff. I know it really helped me to find someone to talk to who I could relate to.
