I came out when i was 17, now all of my friends & family knows that i'm gay, the first 2 years were a total nightmare, now everything is cool , altough at work i have to pretend to be str8 or i would get fired


and you?

My friends know my sexual orientation but my family refuses to acknowledge it openly.

Friends: some

Family: maybe lol

care to ellaborate?

I'm confused atm, so I'll keep it to the internet.

I'm kind of coming round to the idea that they do know even though I've never actually told anyone I am. Nobody asks me and I don't talk about it since I don't see the point in making a big deal about being gay, I don't want people to treat me differently because of it, so I don't act like I am different.

I'm not gay, so no.

I can't @ the title of this thread.

I am straight and everybody knows how macho I am

Why would you get fired?

they always know

I made a similar thread before, "Coming Out Story" you can read. Thread was filled with some very sad stories.

my boss is a homophobic bastard

I told my big sister. She was kool with it.

I know my mom knows,but i haven't actually told her.

Im sure my big brother knows,but says nothing about it. He's had proof upon so many occasions.

My dad thinks im so ****ing straight

ok sis! coming out is a very very very hard decision to make, it can be really tough but i'm glad i did it! and now i don't need to lie to my family or friends anymore i can be as gay as i want to

My mom always asks me whenever a cousin of mines comes out/outed. Weird and ignorant.
