Should i tell them

[Ainsleyshea]

I've told some people that im gay but some of my best friends are homophobic and they wont approve of it or I will be beat up should I stay in the closet or should I just say ?

If there's actually a threat that anyone would physically harm you for saying something, it's probably best that you don't.

[MechaSniper]

Wow tough decision. I don't know man. If they were your true friends they wouldn't care.

If you fear for your well being then don't tell them. And they might not be the best friends of they won't accept who you are.

Beat you up? That seems really harsh but some people really are cruel. If they would beat you up you should probably stay in the closet

[AlexOnToast]

I'm afraid you are going to come out luckless either way in this situation.
If you are afraid for your safety, I'm afraid self-supression around your peers may be the bast way to go :(

[Croconaw]

They are not your real friends.

[JamesSC]

Tell them, if they don't like it, beat the fuck into them.

[ImAurora]

They're not your friends if they would do that to you simply because of your sexuality. Or at all.

[everlong]

Friends that will harm you for being gay are not your real friends

[PinkFloyd]

You should tell them. If they don't approve then they aren't worth being around by any means. Tell them that they shouldn't tell you how to live your life. If you're afraid for your safety, defend yourself however you feel you should. Good luck. :)

you shouldn't tell them if they're gonna beat you for it.
