Coming Out At College

So for the past few days I have been slowly coming out here at college. The first person I told was my best friend down here and she has been a great supporter since. She helped me last night when I told three of my dorm mates. All three of them took it well. One was actually thrilled that I told him I was gay.
Then today at lunch I told three more people in our group. None of them found it surprising and are glad I am finally coming out. But one did tell me bad news. She told me my friend from back home and my current room mate will not take my coming out in a good way. Apparently if I come out it might be the deal breaker in our friendship. But oddly I'm alright with this. If he has a problem it is his lose because I'm sick of hiding.
So besides him I still have about 7 or 8 friends to tell down here until I will be out to all my friends down here. I'm just so happy right now. I no longer have to censor what I say aqnd that itself is a great freedom. I can't wait till everyone knows.

 

Alright so I have an update. I told almost everyone. I still have two but both of them were both too busy today to get a hold of them.
The one friend I was most scared of wasn't a big deal. I was told he would be an issue but he actually is a bit supportive. He said he will never go to a pride rally with me but he was grateful that I told him.
But with such wonderful reactions from people I wish I told everyone last year.

 

Ya, I don't think I'm ready to tell people back home.
