Coming out on FB

[Chris_Likes_Drums]

Well, basicly I came out on facebook, even tho nobody has even noticed exept my best friend (who I told) But it kinda is coming out but also not.
All I did was change my interested in from women, to Men and Women.

I see this as one small step and quite proud of it. It'll be a while till I actually tell my family, and nobody has really noticed it either. Just that its kinda out I feel a bit more relieved.

Congrats that is so cool. And brave. Nice one!

Yeah, I was quite nervous that like everyone would see and like dissown me or something.

Hopefully it will go ok. School was harder at first but family were great. Every one is different. Worked out good in the end for me so stick with it.

Chris you know i'll never disown you :) Maybe that's why you told me but anyways... I know alot of people who won't either. Good luck with it all. I'm always here for you :cuddle: xx

Congratulations, I think that's a really big step. :)

I can't imagine how difficult it would be to come out to someone, so I give you a lot of credit. Congrats. :D

I haven't been even able to do just that... I don't have either of them selected. Maybe I'll do that now, after hearing this. Not like anyone who doesn't know yet would notice anyway :rolleyes:

Coming out on facebook is a big step. It may only take 2 clicks but it does take courage. It means you are slowly accepting yourself. When you do feel comfortable you can change it to just men or keep it there (might be bisexual so cant say :) ) even if you just creak the closet door open, its still a step =)

Well done :)

Yeah I'm Bi / Bi-Curious.

and my gf saw it and asked if I was bi, (so I told her I was) and she said she didn't mind :D and that she'd love me if I was straight or bi, and that It made no difference to her :)

Thanks everyone for the support :)

I REALLY want to, but i also have facebook friends that are some family, cousins, which can get wierd if i visit, and friend's parents, and if i would say that i was gay on fb, out of all my friends there some that are bound to talk, and talk, then parents hear, then my parents hear, and its a mess. and also because my best friend's older brother who gets me shit and stuff doesn't take stuff kindly to gays lol

That can actually be an extremely risky move, but it's good.
Be prepared dor people to say things, because they will notice.
If you're friends with family, you must also brace this. Their reaction can vary to extreme measures. It's a very scary thing to do, but you can at least switch the status if you must.
Good step though.

got some family on fb, like my dad (who never goes on) and my bro and cuousins, but if get asked about by them and I really not ready to tell the, can just say a friend changed it as a joke I guess.

[KenFisher]

Nice one mate, I did it a while ago, no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, blinked. I guess it's cool :P

[Syvelocin]

Also, for the people who have family on Facebook, you know that you can set privacy settings right? ;) You can choose who sees it and who doesn't, if that's what is holding you back.

[UnknownError]

Well done. :)

Im not gay or bi or anything, but if I was, I could never do that.
Mainly cause I get bullied on facebook anyway. :P

[Chris_Likes_Drums]

Well, Might make a status or something when i'm ready.. but for now I'm happy with what I've done

[geniusrocksoutloud]

maybe they thought it was "for a laugh"...people in my school do that "for a laugh"

[sam i am]

Congrats! don't let it bother u if someone bugs u about it

[Giles]

Congratulations. I changed mine from women to men about 3 months ago and nobody has noticed yet, so I wouldn't really expect many people to see.

Yeah, everyone notices if your relationship status changes, but no one notices if you're "out" as far as the Interested In section. It gives a similar update on your page even. "blah blah has changed their Interested In" and "blah blah changed they're relationship status from 'in a relationship' to 'single.'"

Or maybe they do notice and ignore it or something.

[Chris_Likes_Drums]

but usually loads of other people's likes or status's make it dissapear quite quick really.

[minicoopkart]

yea like I couldn't do that because people on my fb actually look at a lot of things. Like I get comments on any Facebook status I post, so someone would notice if I post a status saying I'm gay. And no one would think it's a joke since I just moved to another country

[TheAppleGeek]

thats a great start. however i would come out to friend in person then tell ur parents

[Chris_Likes_Drums]

I'm quite open about it to friends. and most know now... parents might be a whilee though... they dont really need to know, and I've got a gf atm anyway and ;like her and mght see it sa something its not.... I love my gf and all but im also bi. something they might not get and think im tryin to end with her kinda thing.

Congrats! I wanna come out in school but then my parents will get to know eh...
