    It was during bio classes when I came to my best friend at uni. We were writing sort of texts on paper (in english, he's part australian and I prefer english to german or swiss german)

    me: gotta tell you sth, but don't quite know how...
    he: *indicating to just go ahead*
    me: uhmmm... I think I'm gay :icon_redf *suddenly concentrating on lession*
    he::eek: wow.. are u sure? (probably considering the huge skull on my jumper)
    me: yeah... well, as sure as I can be. you got a problem with that
    he: no problem with homosexuals. though you know I tend to make jokes about it
    me: I don't mind them, but please keep it secret, will you?
    he: If you wish so. to whom are you out to anyway?
    me: you and a good friend of mine. Parents don't know.
    he: wow. now I feel honoured. why not telling your parents? are you.. scared?
    me: more than telling anyone else
    he: why? are they conservative or homophobic?
    me: no, it's just... I could change my friends if I needed to, but my family will always be my family.
    he: true so far. do you need someone to be with you when telling your parents?
    me: as I'm not planing to tell them.. not yet. but thanks for helping me.

    this went on until the lession was over. I felt totally exposed all day but I'm getting used to it.

    That's awesome that your friend said he'd be willing to be there when you tell your parents. I wish more people would be like that. Grats for taking that big leap.

    yes, he is. I'm glad for not being in love with him, it would make things unnecessarily difficult :wink:
