I feel your pain Dude, I have encountered such things, I have some Family & Friends that are Homophobic, only through ignorance though, but the key word here is "SOME" you have to find the ones who are not Homophobic, they are they, just not being vocal about it. In Russia at the moment, young Gay people are being Kidnapped, bullied & tortured for being Gay & daring to ask for Gay Rights, you could use this as a topic with people, to see what their response would be, I found with coming out, first you have to come out to yourself & then, when you feel it is right to come out to someone & you feel safe to do so, then you will choose the right person to tell, I chose some Female Friends first, which meant I had built up a support network & also my Friends on EC Good luck with your Journey ride:
Hey! (*hug*) I think you should wait for some more time before you come out because it might change everything for you! WE ARE ALWAYS HERE TO SUPPORT YOU. Don't worry because things WILL GET BETTER As to coming out, you can talk to friends one by one to talk about the topic and see what they think when other friends are not around. Hope you can find people that you find comfortable with telling them. I think that you can also wait until you can support your own living so that even if your family or friends don't like it, they can't harm you. Don't hesitate to ask for anything on EC.
