I am bi, but no one knows. I've just finished reading "A Tiny Bit Marvellous" by Dawn French, and the son in it is gay. It doesn't actually say in the book whether his parents know whether or not he's gay, but if they didn't, thy by the end of the book they definitely know. By the end of the book, he's in an open relationship with another boy, and his parents and friends are all understanding. Because of this, I maybe feel more courageous to come out, only to my best friend and I think he may be bi, because he has a girlfriend recently but he said once that he'd want to know what it felt like to kiss a guy. I am pretty sure that I can trust and feel confident in coming out to him. My question is, can I be confident that I can trust him to keep my secret (it's only to him that I feel I can completely trust) and do you think that I would be accepted by him and other if/when I tell them? :what:

Pine, Coming out for me being bi took alot of courage and acceptance but then again it was to everyone i knew at the exact same time. If you are accepting of yourself then you should be able to tell your best friend. But just because he said that he wonders how it feels to be kissed by a guy doesnt mean that he is bi just curious and may be disgusted by the thought of anything else. Best friends are able to be trusted. If they don't keep your secret or treat you different because of it then they are not your friend and the friendship would have ended somewhere else down the line. Good luck on coming out im behind you 100% and think you should tell him

hey, sorry if im late on replying lol
2 weeks ago i was exactly on the same place as you... i was thinking if i should tell everyone if i was bi.. i kept thinking and thinking until i decided i should start small so i decided to tell my best mate... i was scared at confessing at first and i thought to myself if he didnt like me cos im bi, then he isnt my best mate at all... so i txted him( cos he was on holiday in wales ) that i was bi and if we were still friends.. he sort of txted back straight away saying course im still your best mate! i dnt have anything against bi/ homos..
i think that if i could do it you can do it ;) dnt b scared cos if ur mate doesnt like you for who u r then hes not ur best mate at all is he? :D
