    Yes, it is. This night I had a conversation with one of my friends.

    "So... when will you be bringing a girl with you?"
    "Never."
    "Why not?"
    A few seconds of silence
    "....because I'm gay"

    There, I said it. Easier than I ever imagined I could. No time to worry, no time to make up conversations in my mind, just an unexpected question. And apparently it works.

    His reaction? No problem. He has a cousin who's gay, and another friend. He did ask how I knew for sure, so I finally got to use the "let me ask a question in return... how do you know you're straight?". That made it clear.

    I'm happy. Another friend who knows. Just a few more to go :slight_smile:
