Are you out on facebook?

[jamie_01930]

Yes i am out in facebook ever since my older kids don't know i have feelings when they never call or visit me

and how my x wife told the kids not to tell me my father in law had died last week . he was a real piece of work
for those reasons i'm out and i am proud of it.

say hi to peter,joanne or michelle if you ever meet them lol,lol,lol


ps it feels amazing to be out! for real

Yep, I was out on Facebook and MySpace even before my parents knew. I figured they knew and hadn't brought it up yet, but boy was I wrong, haha

I'm out. I don't like very much the "interested in men" since I don't use it for hook up, but it's the way to show I'm gay

 

[Yeehaw]

Oh, the other day I changed my profile pic, a friend of mine posted on my wall saying "the guys in Toronto don't know what they are missing" I was like thanks for outing me to the entire facebook community, he was do you want me to change it, I was nah I got nothing to lose, if some people defriend me just because of that they are not worth being friends with in the first place. One step closer to Livin' La Vida Open!

there isn't anybody in my life, or anybody that might be able to find me on facebook for that matter, that i give 2 craps if they know i'm gay. i'm very fortunate to be in a position where it needs to be hidden from nobody. so i'm honest and its listed.

my life is an open (face)book.

I'm out on FaceBook. I'm out on MySpace. I'm out everywhere I go. Wait, there wasn't a button for orientation on LinkedIn, I guess it doesn't have much to do with professional networking so there was no need.

And you know what? My credit score is personal information; my hemorrhoids are personal information; whether or not I got banged without rubbers in a bathhouse in 1993 is personal information. The fact that I'm gay is just information. It's not something I'm ashamed of, embarrassed by, or need to protect.

I'm not going to post details of my sexual fantasies for my ten-year-old cousin to read, but I'll be damned if I'm going to hide pictures of me in drag or avoid groups and pages about gay issues just because some tightass on my Friends List won't like it. They can just take themselves off my Friends List if they don't like it.

When straight guys and girls don't mention they're straight, or married to or seeing a person because that's private and protected, then I'll consider my sexuality personal information.

Yes, it's no big deal since my close friends know anyway, and those that are just new-additions (so to speak) get the idea more quickly that way and it saves me the Talk (should the need ever arise).
Sometimes it's a tad strange when some of my students add me as friends, but what the hell... no one ever had a problem with it before.

Honestly, I don't know. I'd have to go look. I'd feel a bit weird saying "Interested in: Men" since I'm partnered - it makes it sound like I'm trolling for something on the side. But I think every one of my friends is actually a friend, and thus knows I'm gay anyway.

My thoughts exactly! Although I don't have a boyfriend, everyone on my facebook knows I'm gay plus the expression makes me sound like a posting in craigslist.

 

[figjam]

just curious how many of you are out on facebook..kinda a stupid question but whatever.
most gay guys i know have nothing listed

how many of you are "Interested in: Men"?
is facebook too public for this kinda thing?

On facebook - not out.

 

[Zaphod]

No. The latest episode of South Park perfectly expresses all the reasons I will NEVER have a face book page.

 

[Audio Tech]

My friends and family know. On Facebook, no. It's not the entire world's business. Especially people I may work for.

 

[AverageJoe]

I put men and women in the past when Facebook still let you search, and I had random, creepy people trying to add me.

I decided it was just easier to remove the men part.

I suppose I could change it back now that you can't search by orientation, but since people from my professional life can read it, I'd rather just leave it as interested in women. (Leaving it blank is kind of a giveaway that you're probably somewhat interested in men)

 

[Speeds]

I love my friends who say they are interested in Men, Women.
I think they haven't a clue that this is something sexual.....

I have a few obviously straight friends who put Men and Women on facebook. I think they think it was for friendship lol.

 

[MercuryJones]

yes, it makes life easier

Agreed. Everyone in my life today knows I'm gay. I do have an extensive web of cousins I know to varying degrees who haven't been actively in my life for 20 years or more, and because of that distance I've never bothered to come out to each and every one though I don't care what they know. If they find me on FB they can see for themselves.
