About two years ago, I tried coming out to a friend of mine. Here's the story. We were playing Skyrim at his place, and I said, point-blank, "Married at 23 (Name has been removed to protect the innocent), if I told you I was gay, would you still be my friend?" (Also, I didn't tell him Trans because he's a Christian and I don't know how he'd react) His answer was kinda shocking. "Honestly, I'd have a hard time trusting your judgement if that was the case." Needless to say, I chickened out. Right now, I'm wondering... did I do the right thing by chickening out? Any advice so I can come out to anyone who asks? Or doesn't?
Well, you took a shot and he didn't seem very accepting. I don't think you should go out of the woods (if you will excuse my swiftie slang) just yet. It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair. He is probably brainwashed at the moment, so you'd have a hard time explaining. You can, alternatively, do some talking about LGBT with him, if you can do it without raising any suspicions.
