Precursor from Raz: OMG hopefully this will work...I am not the most technologically literate person in the world, eh...
This thread has been started for discussion of what it means to "come out", and why people feel the need to do so. It came out of a lot of discussion which came out of this thread started by MazDan.
Basically, if you want to tell your coming out story, do it there.
If you want to discuss what coming out means to you, discuss/ask why you feel it is necessary, do it here. Hope that all makes sense.
i dont see why it should be an issue, coming out.
if i was gay, i dont think id do it, soley because my sexuality doesnt affect my social life at all. i have sex with my girlfriend, talk about sex with my girlfriend, and do unsexual things with my family and friends.
if any of my friends came out to me, i wouldnt care in the least. why would i? its not like im going to have sex with them, or the issue will even COME UP...
like i said, i really dont get why, aside from just the regular banter that goes on between friends, it should be an issue coming out to them. if your friends would leave you because youre gay, they arent real friends anyway.. why would you WANT to be around them?
..i dont have to confirm my sexuality with anyone but myself, and i dont see why gays/homphobes make such a big deal out of it. i REALLY have no idea why youd want to tell your co-workers... that seems like a bad idea because UNLIKE friends, you dont get to pick them. they could be bigotted & shun you just because theyre an asshole--it isnt fair but its the way the world works. the solution? dont talk about your sexuality where its irrelevant, IE circle of friends, family, work, school, etc...
