So I’m gonna try to make this long story short but here goes:
I’m 15 years old and I’m gay. I first came out to one of my closest girl friends last summer and she was completely chill with it (I was 14 then.) Soon after I told other girl friends and the list kept piling on (about 7 girls know now) and none of them actually gave a shit. But I had only ever been comfortable telling the girl friends because I had no idea how my presumably straight friends would react.
I also have this group of guy friends that we’re all super close but I didn’t know how to tell them at all because I was worried that it would change our relationship.
I knew for sure one of them (let’s call him jake) wouldn’t really give a shit because he had already made his opinion on sexuality very clear but there was also another guy who acted homophobic (let’s call him mike.) I always thought that once Mike found out about me he would realize that it’s completely normal and nothing is different which did happen but I’ll get to that later.
A couple of days ago one of my girls friends that knows called me and explained how two months ago Mike, who she was dating at the time, took her phone and read all her messages with me and found out about me. Mike, not knowing what to do, told Jake, and I’m pretty sure Jake helped him realize how it shouldn’t change anything. They didn’t tell me they knew at all.
After my girl friend told me about this I texted each of them and we talked and they were completely chill about it. We already hung out and even though we didn’t mention it nothing was different.
Basically what I’m trying to get at is that I didn’t notice, for two months, any change whatsoever in our relationship and that even my friend, Mike, who was homophobic, was completely accepting of me.
All of this said, if you have any close friends who you want to tell or are unsure about, I encourage you to tell them. I know this is cliché but if they really are close to you and they truly like you, then it won’t matter.
TL;DR your straight guy friends don’t give a shit about you being gay.
