I am gay

---

I am gay, and have been for a while... There you go.

OK... Should we care?

Congratulations on your courage in coming out. However, don't feel you have to have a label, or live up to a label. Be yourself!

good for you hunn!! i hate it when people deny their true identity, but dont label yourself. BE YOURSELF

Does any one know any way that I could tell it to people? I posted here first because i dont want to tell someone then they get all creeped out and not be cool with me any more...

any advice?

You don't need to nessarily tell people that you are gay. Perhaps a close friend that you know may keep your secret well I suppose.

When my sisters good friend came out he was extreamly nevis about it. He told his family and close friends and everyone took it very well, no bad reaction anyway.It's not easy but you may be surpised about how suporting your lovedones can be. Good luck!

Yea, you don't need to tell EVERYONE, It;s your own business.But some gay guys LIKE to be identified as gay. I have a very good friend how deliberatly trys to look and act "gay". Maybe this makes it easyer to meet other gay men becauses there's no "Is he? I think he minght be...blah blah". He's the most "out" gay person I've ever known. He likes to point out hot guys to me and he tells pretty much everyone he has a conversation with that he's gay, although it's VERY obvious.OP: it really is up to you and what your comfatable with as to who you tell and how open you are about it, just because your gay dosn't mean you have to conform to any steriotype or act and particular way or anything.

LOL, you're friend sounds like a friend of me xDI'm gay too though, and I'm quite the other way around x_x only my best friends know, for now

get a guy..skip all the drama of coming out of the closet.;D

best way to tell people about your sexual orientation is find a bf/gf as applicable and hang out with them; go on dates liek to the movies or for a meal, study together, sit together whenever you can in the cafetereia and classes, etc. Won't take long for everyone to figure out the two of you are an item. Of course since most guys in their early teens tend to swing back and forth a few times so be prepared for some odd looks when your second romantic objective happens to be th eopposite gender from yrou first.

I had a friend who finally "came out" and they were amazed at what little reaction came out of us. All those years of worrying about it and wondering how to do it and you friends say "it is about time!, we kind of already knew." Besides the people who matter don't care and the ones who care don't really matter.
