is it safe to come out

[Vanbael]

I will have to say I really depends on what kind of group your friends are, if they are the ones that have been exposed to /b/ at least once or is exposed to nerd culture that would already outcast them from "normal" society, then your pretty much in the safe and clearness of being accepted. I usually keep the exposure on topic with the conversation.
I officially came out of the closet Tuesday last week, and my friends were all cool with it since they all were the type to be more open minded.

i "came out" very resently. life has kinda been hell. every time i see my parents i cant but help to apoligies.

all i say is sorry over and over. my parants say they love me no matter what and as long as im happy they wont mind (they just dont wanna see it. which is understandable) but i keep feeling like i let them down. like iv failed them. (can anyone explan this feeling i cant)

my gf was/ is on a i hate you now i still love you kinda trend. one day its hate one day its fine. it only started to hurt about 2 days ago.

there are days i wish i didnt. and days i am glad i did. very few people know. (except anyone who reads this thread >.> <.<)

i look at it as this: i have two "life times" now and after highschool when im on my own. after high school i will be on my own and can do what i want. and what makes me happy.

untill then... ill just do the best i can at what i can.

Yeah, poor Stryker's had a hellish time since he told his parents we are together. It really sucks for both of us, but he's got the worst of it.

Come to think of it, my own coming out would be easy, had I cared enough to think doing so is important.
I mean, my gf knows I'm bi, apparently long before I told her, in fact 5 or so years before we got together. But that's about it at the moment.

But my family seems to strongly suspect it (that I'm gay, not bi. They don't know about my gf), and I don't think people in school or that I work around would be too surprised if I came out. Then again, I've never felt strongly about other people's feelings/opinions about me, with the exception of about three.

meh. I'm pretty darn straight, but I know for a fact that if my mom had the slightest suspicion, my mother would take up her gardening shears...

She's really chill, and she isn't homophobic or anything. But she wants me to spawn kids... and doesn't want me to have illegitmates... so she'll cut em off to ensure I don't cheat on a guy...

My mom's cool and weird that way...
