mRojas2000 -- Thats not quite true.

This is how i came out to my best friend ::
We talk on the phone alot, like alot every night. and so about 4 months after i met her [[we starting phoning right away]] i told her i wasnt sure if i was gay. and manymanymany months later... actually last night.. i told her that i was gay. She reacted great.}
So maybe do thattt.

ha, futurecityboy, i just responded to your post in the wpr (white padded room) with the pictures, and you're cute, and totally didnt know you were gay.



but anyways! the way i came out to the first person was (lame) texting. yes, i texted her and told her i was gay. she was fine with it, and was all excited to finally have a guy friend to talk about guys with. after that, i eventually just came out to more and more people.

haha, riley, thanks.
& Have you told your parents yet, riley?
I dont think ill ever be able too, haha.

But im not telling anyone else untill after i grad. highschool.

[what the?]

I'm out to everyone I know lol

I told my parents, by leaving a letter in the house, in plain site, before I left for school. And well, I just told my friends, face to face, and when people ask me if I'm gay, I just say yes. That's how I did it lol

EDIT:

...and [i] totally didnt know you were gay

Ha, I knew as soon as he mentioned the word, 'straighten' :D

I'm scared to come out incase i'm made fun of or my friends betray my trust and tell people ( well if they do yhey wouldent be friends!!) :confused: and my dad is quite homophobic :( but i will need to tell him somethime !!

I'm bisexual, and the only person I told that I actually know from meeting in person I told over IM [kinda pathetic, yes, but she kinda moved to Ohio or something so.] I actually decided to tell her because she is bi too. At theater camp, where I met her, she says her friends who are OK with her being bi call her "Half-fag", so when I IMed her I was like "Hey, half-fag" and she just laughed or whatever. Then I said "I'm a half-fag too" and she just says "RIGHT ON! Now there's more than one".

Well I don't think I can hide from too many people the truth, so I'm trying to figure out who else I can tell and how.
