Bob Wrote:I was in the same boat as you Cross! Not everyone, but a few people knew that I swung that way, but it was left unspoken. and when people actually asked if I was gay/bi, it really hurt my feelings and I, too, said no. To this day, I still am in the closet, but about three of my close friends actually know, at first I found it difficult telling them, and I panicked thinking that they would tell other people or judge me differently, but none of that happened. You don't necessarily have to sing out your sexuality for the whole world to hear, but it's good to have a real friend to talk to about it. I've told my parents twice now but they shrugged it off as a just a phase each time. Some things should just be left unsaid. The girlfriends I have had, i've had sex with, but it took me a very long time to do the act. But I understand where your coming from, it also annoys me when friend's friends ask on one of the first times they meet me, whether i'm gay. It's a conversation killer and it makes me really paranoid.Thanks for sharing. It's cool to find out that I wasn't the only one.

And thanks again guys. The meeting thing is in 3 days. I'm not gonna lie, I'm freaking out. I'm getting nervous as it gets closer and closer. Though there are 2 meetings on that day that will go on at the same time. There's the Coming Out Group and Youth Program Social Group. Which one should I join????? And I've been thinking about coming out to my dad first and I mean before this meeting. Might happen tomorrow, I dont know. Depends if I actually build up the courage to do so.
