Okay, so if all goes well, I have two friends I'll be moving into an apartment with over the summer. I've been slowly coming out to my family and friends, but these two are the last of the people whose opinions I care anything about, and because we're really close I've been putting it off out of anxiety. But since I don't want to spring it on them when we're already roommates, and since I don't think it will matter to them, I'm going to tell them today. I'm thinking of sending them a text before I see them, something like, "Hey, since we've been talking about being roommates, there's something I want to talk to you about." so that there's no way for me to chicken out this time. I told another friend via text, but these two are really close friends, and I want to tell them together, face-to-face. Anyway, just trying to get over the jitters and get it into my mind that I'm really going to do this. Wish me luck! After this, I'm officially out to everyone who matters, and I don't have to worry about what I say/do or what gets said about me. It's going to be a BIG relief. (!)
Hey Have you any evidence that your future roomates are ok with gay people? If so, you can probably have much more hope about a positive response! I hope it goes well for you X Dean.
Thanks for the support, guys. Well, I told them, and they're totally cool with it, and the moving plans are still on! I wasn't afraid they'd freak out or anything, just that it might change their minds about wanting to room with me. They just said they were glad I told them rather than springing a girlfriend on them, and that they'd support me no matter what. Totally made my day!
