Pleasantly Surprised

[Prosecutor. Lang]

Well, I recently came out to my friends. After about 4 years of hiding it, I was getting tired of it. I was even determined to come out to the guy I have a crush on. I was afraid he would stop talking to me or something. Well, I pulled out in the hallway and told him I needed to talk to him. It was odd, I was terrified of what his reaction would be but I had to do this for myself. So, I just flat out told him that I was gay. It was like one of those moments where time freezes and you wait for something to just explode right in your face.
The first thing he said was, "Cool" I was kinda shocked. I didn't expect him to be good about it. He also asked if anyone was giving me crap about it, he said he would fight them for me. I usually interact with him on a daily basis. So I told him I was afraid that things would be weird between us. He just told me it didn't matter. He just gave me another hug, I told him I loved having a great friend such as him and we left. (End of School year, by the way. Finished Junior year, now a senior) I doubt I'll ever have a relationship with him. But it's still nice to know that you truly can count on friends for anything.

Anyone else have any surprisingly good experiences? Friends?

Well, not like this one but I've been in your friends situation and I completely support my friend about his sexuality. I kind of tease him sometimes about it...but yeah sometimes it can get embarassing for me.

Here's an example: We were bowling and I bowled a bad ball, and I said "You suck, balls!" and then I remembered that my friend was bi and appoloigized and explained to him I was saying it to the bowling ball, not him.

My point, there might be a little difference in how you and your friend talk to eachother now that he might want to choose his words more wisely as to not offend you, but other than that he sounds like a great friend and I wish you the best.

Yea, Your right. I've noticed some of my friends starting saying things I've never heard them say before or pausing mid-sentence. Its good to know that they care about me enough to do all they can to not offend me. I just think it's sweet how friends try to do so much for you and that they care so much. Thanks for the wishes as well.

You are so lucky to have friends like that. I wish mine would be that nice. I probably will never come out to my friends. They seem so homophobic.

some of my friends stopped saying things like "fag" ... they never said it in an offensive way just as a joke, it was annoying that they would always apologise if they said it in front of me, i never really cared but they always do it even tho i tell them not to worry ... ah well

When I came out to my mom, I thought she would completely freak out and have some sort of breakdown or something. She didn't think much of it, though, really. The gist of what she said was, "I'm glad you told me, and you know I'll love you no matter what. This doesn't change my thoughts of you at all."

Just kinda left it at that.

Wow. That takes some serious guts. I'm so happy it worked out for you, it's blown up in my face before (that's what she said.)
:thumbsup:

I wasn't so lucky on this front. She did freak out, practically had a nervous break down and was convinced I need some type of therapy. My dad has always been opened minded, he was good about it. he just warned when and where to come out and make sure I this was what I wanted. But I'm glad she was good to you. Yay, haha. :)

Life has a tendency to do things like that. Things you imagine being unbearable end up going pretty well and Vice-Versa.

Well, it was the Day of Silence, and I pretty much gave up, and this really annoying kid was teasing me about it saying, "Haha, you hate gay people!" and he's so annoying so I shouted at him, "I AM GAY, GODDAMNIT!" And of course he was like, "Whuhh!? You're lez??" And I'm like, "No. Bi. Please and thankyou."
All that day I was coming out to people with the little whiteboard I had. I came out to my best friend at lunch and he was like, "That's cool. =)" I think everyone suspected it.
Panseexxuuaaalll! Hehe..

Well me and a mate found out we were bi at the same time haha, we were talking about relationship shizzle or something and we were like "oh.... i guess that makes us bi then"

A long while after that he and I started coming out to everyone, we had a kind of competition going lol, I pretty much won by coming out to parents :D

These days we frankly love being bi and take the rip out of each other for fun, saying we're "undecided", "greedy" or "fags" etc. Other gay, bi and straight mates do the same tbh lol (to eachother, not just us ;D)
