Well guys, I think I'm going to finally do it. I'm going to come out... to my bestfriend of course. I'm so excited, yet nervous at the same time. Something tells me she won't be surprised cause she already thinks I'm gay, or she at least teases me. Idk, I might chicken out at the last minute, but she is definitely the first I'm going to tell.
I don't really expect a negative reaction. She might just give me that 'are you serious' look and wished that I told her sooner. Wish me luck!

I told one of my top 3 best friends very last. She was extremely offended at me for it. :p It was because I sort of 'used' her in HS. I told everyone that "I was in love" with her, and could never date another girl. >_>

But yeah, when I told her she was like: "Thank god, and here I thought I was ruining your life. By the way, I made out with your brother."

So, yeah, now for my story.

After christmas I was reading a book I had recived from a friend. And my dad walks in my room, I look up and go back to reading. My dad procceds to sit next to me on my bed and looks at the book.
He asks me who had gave it to me. And I respond with the name of my friend. My dad then asks me.
" Yeah, she is nice... Do you like her?"
"Yeah, shes a good friend." I respond.
"So you do like her!"
"No, dad, not as a mutual partnership, but as a friendly associate."
My dad, "..."

After about of 5 seconds of awkward silence I say, "I don't like anyone, for that matter I don't even get sexually aroused. But, she is a good friend, and even though she is the complete opposite of me, I still would die for her... I would die for any of my friends. But, I just don't care about relationships."

"No! That's not a problem, infact it is interesting, I just wanted to know you better. It's cool, and maybe you will eventually find a special person, just as long as you are happy."

"I know, and maybe I will, but for now I don't, no worries, what happens happens."

My dad then hugs me and walks out of the room.
/Story.

So, yeah, It was short, precise, and to the point.

OMG

BEST. SPONTANEOUS IDEA. EVER.

Okay, so it's 5:30 AM and I click the thread and it hits me. I'm coming out to everyone New Years.

You see, I just got back from a 7 hour drive to Lon Lon Ranch. I had to cancel all my weekend plans to go "spend time with my family." Fine. I did, and now I'm back.

They want me to go again Wednesday. Yes, cancel everything. Again.

I don't want to go. At all. I'm tired of recanceling. And the cramped cars. And the 20+ Mexican family members. I'm going to fight going, but if I end up getting dragged back. I'm telling them. All of them. When we get around to the 2009 wish spilling, "Oh, and I'm gay."

Okay, now back to being awake. I wonder how this will look in the morning...

:psycho:

hahaha.:laugh: good idea meno. sounds similar to my idea of coming out to my dad if he tries to force me to go out to a bar with him. He keeps insisting I need to do it to be "one of the guys" and so, well. I'll give him a reason why I don't want to, and he probably won't like it.

as for your case, well, good luck with that. whatever happens I hope you don't regret it. And this'll probably seem a bit silly to you when you are fully awake :chuckle:

Perhaps coming out as a revenge plot isn't such a good idea. I mean, isn't the goal to make people as comfortable with your orientation as possible?

going to have to agree with this, it's a delicate subject especially around family. If your prepared though, do as you see fit.

That would be hilarious, perfect timing too.
Get really drunk too*, It will be even better

*(Don't actually get drunk unless you want to, it was just an idea.)

Never thought I'd say this, but this man is 100% correct.

Didn't even notice you, Numbers.

*agrees with Azua and Numbers.*

But if you have this burning desire to become totally independent of said people uncomfortable with the notion, then a revenge plot is certainly a means to achieve those ends.

It's still ill-advised, though.

Wherever you want me to be... If you're female.
Meno Goodluck! And Sonic I think you can be "one of the guys" and still be gay. I'd go with your dad anyway! He might even be more accepting under the influence of alchohol xD (joke only).

Ok I've spoken to some of you privately about this and well I need HELP. There is this guy I am currently interested in. Definitely in the closet. And Definitely gay. I can write you a 20 page paper on why this guy is gay but he denies it every time. Well I mean that is to be expected considering I have never gone up to him directly and told him I am gay, but I have droped NUMEROUS hints at him from winking to a hand on a shoulder to grabbing his ***/ acting VERY homosexual in front of him.

I wonder, is he just not interested and trying to blow me off(which is weird because he still hangs out with me)? Or does he not get it? Or is it possible for a straight man to root for Hillary Clinton, have a gay lisp, watch VH1 episodes of Paris Hilton, secretly order gay pornography and love shopping at the same time =/

There was this guy with a gay lisp at my friends the other night, we were playing brawl (he'd never played before) just graduated and I was like... 100% convinced he was gay... then he went to talking about his girlfriend about a moment before bringing up the subject.

I mean, he was kind of cute, or maybe I just don't think so anymore because I know he's straight, or I was just tired... I dunno. Then there was my co-worker, the "loner" who basically reminded me of myself 2 years ago and never seemed interested in woman... but he assured me of being straight.

As much as you don't want to believe them, if you came out to them they'd have no reason to lie to you... other than really, REALLY being scared.

Just don't do anything stupid, hedgedawg and meno.
oh I won't do it in a stupid way. But I don't WANT to be "that guy" The idea of going to bars and drinking beer and talking about the game, hot chicks and grunting does not appeal to me at ALL. I assume my dad would try to reason with me that it's a right of male passage and somehow that would lead to a comment or question that I couldn't answewr honestly without giving away my orientation. I'm fine not shouting "I'm gay!" from the rooftops or anything, but I don't want to lie anymore. as it is, I already awkwardly eschew most stereotypical guy comments, like when the pharmacists under which I work showed me a christmas card where santa's helpers all happened to be shirtless, busty lasses. of course my response to that was an immediate O_O "MY EYES!!! MY POOR INOCENT EYES!" but I mean, I honestly told them straight up that I didn't like it at all and I'd apreciate NOT being shown topless chicks at work in the future.

They chalk it up to my niaive innocence, but still, I'm not going to play it up like I enjoy it.... wow... did I ever get off track.

anyway point is, if it comes up, I'll be honest. end of story.

Well guys, I did it. :)

I broke the news to my friend when we were driving around town. I was so excited. At first she gave me one of those "So you finally admit it?" looks. But she smiled and said that she didn't give a **** if I was or not.. Then she went on about how I should tell some other people and how they would accept me more. Not sure what, accepting me more, has to do with it, but I just told her its not like it should matter to them. So, overall, I'm pretty **** happy about today, but also a bit curious as to how she is going to start treating me when I'm around my other closest friend... Who happens to be gay. I'm also pretty happy she didn't mention anything about relationships or anyone who I've been crushing on.

Everything except the "secretly order gay pornography". It takes every kind, I know gay guys who can't stand shopping, are major martial artists, play football, and basically are as "manly" as you can get. There are all kinds of gay people, and all kinds of straight people, don't let the stereotypes get to you.

Could be bi too, and could be hung up on the distinction.

Fair enough, but don't look down on it cause realistically, everybody does it, all that varies is the subject matter.

Though, really it can be fun, even if you don't share their sexual orientation, just going out and doing some drinking (generally with friends) is pretty fun. I go out and do drinking with my gay friends on occasion, just when the conversation inevitably switches to "hot people", I stick with the lesbians in that friend group.

But then again, that's with friends. Never gone out for drinks with my dad but I imagine it'd be mad uncomfortable.

well, you see, I don't drink. or, rather I do, but I do so when I'm thirsty, or to compliment a meal. regardless, I drink at restaraunts or at home, the thought of going out to drink does not appeal to me and the taste of beer even less so. Even "good" beers are still not good IMO. I mean some imported shtuff like "newcastle's best" are bearable... but too expensive for being just "bearable".

and, besides that, yes. it would be awkward. I mean I DO hang out with my dad, and with my dad's friends. I AM one of the guys when it comes to, you know, going and spending a sunday with the guys playing cards while watching the game... but that's because it's a fun group of people. the thought of going out with just my father for a beer is just really uncomfortably awkward to me. if he forces me, I'm ordering an appletini... we'll see what he thinks about that. :laugh:

Kinda stupid. Never mind that. I thought about it and I've decided no.

1) It's still a powerful weapon. I must use it wisely.
2) I'd prefer to tell some of the people in a more "special" way.

So yea, never mind, but thanks for the support. XD


Oh bored, you magnificent *******.
Yaaaaaaaaaay. Congrats Bored! And Tak...! Who I never got around to telling. :p

Yeah I understand what you mean. I myself am an athlete and I know some pretty buff gaymen, and I know some pretty girlish straight men...I am not a fan of shopping or girlish men, I'd rather have them buff as well.

You can't blame me for looking to stereotypes though, they are MOSTLY true.... however they don't speak for the world I guess...

I myself am bisexual but I am confused about my own desires/habits so I probably wont be able to pick up on other bi men/women....

HEY IDEA-

We are going to each do our own video blogs, to get to know each other better. I just threw out the idea randomly in the chat today... so we are going to do it. Where you live, what you do, anything about smashbros you want to talk about, your history, WHATEVER. 10 seconds long/5 hours long doesn't matter just a tidbit about you.

I'll go first if everyone wants me to, that way you can all make yours better than mine and won't feel as bad about it.
