    Ok - This stems from something mentioned in another post.

    What are some of the weirdest/extreme, yet potentially useful ways of coming out to your friends or anyone really...

    Something along the lines of :
    • Writing it on a T-shirt and wearing it infront of your friends
    • Making out with a guy at school
    • Mentioning it in a speach infront of your year level.

    I can't think of anything to add except a story.

    When I told friend A that I was planning to come out to friend B, A encouraged me to fake a scenario. A (who already knew my sexuality) encouraged me to "come out" to himself and B at the same time, making B think that A didn't know. Then, directly after "coming out" to both of them, A wanted to pretend he's extremely angry at me by yelling and throwing a tantrum. I would have liked to see B's reaction to this, but I didn't followthrough because of a complicating factor: B liked me, and I wanted to sincerely explain why I didn't like her. It could have been fun. :icon_sad:

    I can't lie, I have been tempted to make a T-shirt, but I've yet to actually do it.

    When I started my previous job I made a point of finding out who the company gossip was, catching her at the coffee machine and steering the conversation in that direction (not difficult). Within a couple of days most of the place knew, which was exactly what I hoped would happen!

    Not exactly weird, but a bit different and very effective.

    I have to say, I would have never thought about that. Of course, I've never actually been in that situation and/or been "out" yet, but I'll have to remember that.

    I know that world-of-mouth can be very effective. Interesting way to tap into that...

    unfortunately, that's the type of thing they kick you out of school around here for. Sigh. two more years of high school and then I'm free...

    That's definitely gonna be a going-away-to-college present from myself to me. :slight_smile: This isn't the original one; the real one I want is at hot topic but I'm not looking through 58 pages of clothes for it, sorry. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    For you boys, we have...

    Like those shirts too. Just got myself an embroidered baseball cap in nice orange letters on black, "Str8t Acting" which I've been wearing around town (but not to work). My gay friend from Iran got a kick out of it.:lol:
