Well heres my story im 24 year old male i knew i was gay when i was 12 and last year i came out.

Well one my friends finally got a computer and the internet and me and her started to talk more and became better friends i told her things she told me things etc.

I started to really trust her enough to the point where i thought she would understand about me being gay. So we were chatting and told her i was gay at first she thought i was jokeing but i told her i wasnt i told her not to say anything to her boyfriend who was my best friend who id known for allmost 20 years and allso told her not to tell my brother.

I was so glad i told someone but then my brother who was at her flat went on her computer and was pissed saying your gay? I freaked out and said i was jokeing with her but i wasnt i think alot of people would freak out and lie if someone got pissed at u for being gay.

I was really angry with my friend who i came out too i didnt speak to her for a few days at the end of the week i spoke to her. she was going away for a week and my bro and her b.f were going with her but only for the night and i thought she was angry with me cuz i wasnt invited but thats only cuz there wasnt enough room.

So when i talked to her and i asked her if she was mad at me and she said no. i asked are annoyed that i did that joke and she said no. Then i told her i wasnt too happy with her for telling them and she said so u are gay then and i said yes.

So a week past and she was back just in time for birthday and we all went out i had a good chat with her about it.

At the time my brother and my friend ( her boy friend) still thought it was a joke. So sometimes after my birthday i was online speaking to my friend she was asking whitch guys i fancyed and she went away for a smoke and her b.f came home and read what we were saying.

So he went right on the computer asking if i was gay or not i was shocked when he asked there was no point in saying no cuz he read when i was speaking about to her. So i said yes he seemed fine about it at the time.

She spoke to him about it she said he was fine with it so i was thinking oh well he was going to know at some point and he told me i should tell my brother he will need to know.

So one afternoon we were at there flat and i was really worried about telling him cuz of his reaction before. I didnt have the guts to tell him so my friend was nice enough to tell him for me cuz she would make him understand better.

So thats my story of coming out to my friends and my bro.

Heres how my parents found out.

Well me,my friends and brother were out in town for a night of drinking and one of us didnt get into a club cuz they didnt have id even though they were over 18.

So we decided to go to a gay club but my brother wasnt really up for it and if u read the first part of my story u will know how he first reacted to it. So went to this gay club and brother drank a bit too much.

So we got home and he was upset about something it must been the drink that set it off im not going into what he was upset about cuz thats his deal. Wer living with are parents and my mum wanted to know why he was upset and he started talking to her about stuff and the subject of me being gay must have came up cuz i was just about to go to bed when my mum came through and wanted to talk.

She said sit down i need to talk to u about something ur not in trouble and she said ur brother says ur gay i just looked at the floor for a few seconds in shock and then looked up and said yes. She said its ok and huged me i must have been in shock about it all cuz i didnt cry like i thought i would when i thought about telling them. I asked what about dad and she said she would tell him.

I dunno how i slept after all that but i did the next morning my mum wanted to talk to me asking if i was ok and she said she told my dad and said he would talk to me about it.

He never did talk to me about it maybe he chickened out or she didnt acutaly tell him. They havent said anything at all about it sines just back to normal and its really annoying for me cuz as all of u know its a big deal coming out to ur parents and it seems to them seeing they have never said anything sines that it wasnt a big deal or they have just forgot.

I dont know if they dont want to talk about it or they just feel like they dont want to make me feel werid by talking about it. I really want to talk to them about it but thats just as hard as coming out to them. I know they havent said anything to anyone else in my family cuz at a family party my cousin who allways talks to my mum asked if i had a girl friend.

I still feel that i need to hide it from them

Thanks for reading leave a comment please.
 
Has anything more happened? I'd like to know how your bro has been acting or if you've discussed you being gay any more. Also wondering if your dad has said anything? Congrats on coming out though I wish I had the guts, does it feel good?

You have hidden your true self for such a long time, it will take time to feel comfortable with the new developments.

Gratz on coming out too.

Give it time for dad, he will come around. As for your mom, give her a big Ol hug for me, she is wonderful. ^^.

Again gratz.(*8*)

Well my brother has tryed his best to deal with it. When we go out for a night of drinking sometimes we go to a gay bar for my sake and hes able to come along with out complaining.

One my friend though hates it and we no longer as close as we used to be.

My dad really hasnt said anything about it

thanks the replys guys x

That is REALLLY nice of your brother!! I would not even expect that from my own brother (had I had one) I don't even think my best friend, who is totally fine with me being gay would go to a gay bar with me (if I was 21 anyways) So I think you should be really grateful that you have such a great brother :)

As for your dad, just give him time. It was good that you came out to him at all, something I still haven't dont yet! Congratulations!! I hope anything that's bad right now becomes better for you ..|
 
Congratulations on coming out! While not perfect, it sounds like your family is taking it fairly well. Your brother is definitely trying hard and I give him a lot of credit for that. Going to gay bars with you is impressive. Just keep in mind, you have known for years, but this is all new to them. They are going to need some time to fully adjust.

I can assure you your parents haven't forgotten that you are gay. They could be in denial or they want to show you that nothing has changed just because you are gay. Let's hope for the latter, although thinking it's just a phase is often a parents first reaction. They may not know how to bring "gay" things up in conversation. They are kind of in the dammed if they do and dammed if they don't zone. If they were talking about you being gay all the time, it may make you feel just as bad. You can either take a direct approach and talk to them or you can work stuff into conversations with them. Initially they may not take the bait, so just keep trying. I guess the bottom line is that if you want to talk about it, it's up to you to get the ball rolling. Good luck!
 
I just thought id give an update on whats been happening.

More and more people seem to be to finding out about me being gay likely by my friends and people looking at my bebo page.

My mum hasnt said much about it she did say one thing about it not long ago which made me glad cause she didnt forgot or just ignore it people i hardy know are finding out but My mum nor my dad have told any of my relatives well i think my cousins might know cause they have seen my bebo page but havent said anything.

I think maybe my parents havent told any of my relatives for my sake cause maybe they think it would be werid for me or upset me.
 
Maybe you should screw up the courage to speak directly with your parents Right now it's a lot of speculation and action based on what you think the other might feel or think.

So the easiest and shortest distance between two points is a straight line. So just sit them down and talk to them. If telling your family is something you don't mind, let them know. If you're worried about how your dad feels, ask him. Maybe he's okay with it, but is trying to deal with it in his own way before he talks to you. maybe he's not okay with it but doesn't want to offend or hurt you. Maybe he's not okay with it and he's upset and could use a good outlet with you and your mother there to help him work it out.

You never know. So find out, or you never will.
