The poem in question was the 'Black and white' poem I posted in the chit chat section a while ago. I'd e-mailed it to my friend as a kind of hint, although I knew she wouldn't properly understand its meaning. So I spoke to her on the phone, and I told her it was really significant to me. So after a while of dodging around the subject... Me: I'm gay. *Silence* Her: Is that it? It's the first time I've ever properly gotten the words out of my mouth without someone interrupting or figuring it out before I told them, or writing it in a text message. YIPPEEEEEE!!! She was completely okay with it. That said I didn't expect her not to be because she's friends with 2 bisexuals anyway; I'm just another addition to the 'non-straight' party.
Wow, Congrats That's definately an interesting way to hint at it =P Takes a lot of courage to straight up say "I'm gay", glad you have another friend who knows
Congrats!! Yeah, I still can't say 'I'm gay' out loud either. Every time I came out until now I said something like 'I like guys' or described it somehow. I don't exactly know why but I guess it will be resolved in time
Hey congratulations!! I can't believe you actually said the words "I'm gay": it is so hard to say this anyway, especially when you're coming out (I've always done it by email or, in speech, done it in a very roundabout way). Do you know these bisexual friends of hers? And are they female???....
Thanks!! Lol yeah those bi ones are the other 2 friends I'm out to and one's got a boyfriend, and the other I don't like in that way. I'd happily have the one with the boyfriend if she didn't have one...dayarm. I'm too slow...
Oh that's a shame about the boyfriend But at least you've got a little community of LGBT people going on there, always a good thing!! (one side effect I've found in coming out to people is that I find out about other people who I knew, but didn't know were gay. Everytime I come out to someone, they tell me about someone else...maybe this will happen to you and you'll get your fun that way ) But congrats on the coming out!!
