For those who are bi/gay (or maybe theres lesbians here.) How was it for you coming out of 'the closet'? Unless you havnt' already.

Where you treated differently, did people look at you differently? Or did everyone suspect it already?

Well I haven't come out to most people I know, but the ones I have come out to have been extremely supportive. Right now I'm carefully choosing who to come out to and when so I can have the most support available. I haven't been treated differently at all, exept my family I've told have said they are real proud of me for having the courage to say so.

Well i'd have to say it made me see who people really were... My ex best frienbd flipped at first and now he likes to tease me about it but he dosen't really hate me... So he's just a friend now. After the s**t he said when he found out i can never trust him again. My mom and sister are cool with it and my sis is really supportive. She's 30. I'm 15. Go figure. Messed eh? And i dunno if my dad knows but i know he woulden't wanna kill me for it anyway. People at school leave me alone actually. I suspect the way people talk behind backs in my school half the school if not more knows i'm "bi". I tell everyone i'm bi. Most everyone... but i think i'm gay. But for some reason even homophobic people leave me alone about it. I'm just not extreemly girly like all the others they hate so much so i guess i get left alone... So yeah it was fine for me. I get treated no differently by my mother... and it varies from person to person with everyone else. I'm just lucky people don't wanna hurt me.

I've always wondered who has it worse when being teased, gay men who act feminine or masculine. Its probably just depends on the situation and area you live in, but I could see either as recieving the brunt of the insults. I could see feminine men becuase they would "threaten" straight guys sense of masculinity. And I could also see masculine gay men because they would want to be more involved in sports and naturally have more straight male friends(like me). Since straight males are the least open to gay people I could see how they would recieve more criticism.

I don't think I'll ever tell my parents... Ever.
Some of my friends already know, but I tell them I'm more into guys anyway, but it is a lie. ninja
The only two friends I told started acting weird around me. sad

Ergh. I was 'pulled out' a few days ago. My parents found some 'special' webbies on the PC. I forgot to clear the history. Dad is supportive, but mum is like, still neutral

Well, I haven't really came out of the closet to anyone. Not even to my parents. It is almost like I am more or so buryed under a pile of clothes in the closet. But the only way I came out of the closet so far is the tiny little words in my sig. I don't think anybody really reads it but it is there.

Believe me being out of the closet is A LOT better than being in. The best thing is to probe people and see where they stand on gay issues then if they're cool about it then tell them. I found it a huge relief after I told my sister and parents.

The thing is that i am almost scared on how people will react. Even if they don't mind homosexuals. I don't think that my parents would be too supportive and they don't really seem to accept homosexuals too much. Well that is what i fell. Probeing is hard because sometimes you don't really know on how to get to the topic of gays. And for me, even if they don't mind, i still think it is hard to just get it out.

Edit: Anyone else has any suggestions on how to get out of the closet?

i'm still in, and i'm absolutely fine with it. i know my mom will support me when i come out (i think she knows) and i know my dad will but it will take him a while. i'm definately not coming out in high school. probably after i move out and get a bf, i'll come out. i wouldn't mind having someone to rest my head on sometimes... i really like one of my best friends, his name is kirby, and i'm not sure if he's gay or not. i get a small vibe, but he's always asking girls out, but i don't know if it's just an act or if it's for real... i know another one of my best friend's brother is gay... or like 90 percent sure... anyways, he's younger than i am but like just as tall and he's got a really nice body... i just don't know... but the moral of the story is, unless it's absolutely killing you inside, or you know that everyone will respect you, don't do it. my bf on gaia came out, and he's been treated so badly.

Its for tha Shortys

Well, i don't think i'll be coming out untill i leave high school too. About your bf on gaia, i don't think he will be treated that badly here or in another ggg thread.
