New to this situation.

[Obsessive]

Well, as you've all probably guess - yes I'm gay. I'm 19 years old, going to this coming up year, and I've never had a homosexual experience with anyone. I guess in high school it's one of those things where it's taboo to be gay, and if you are you suddenly drop to the bottom of the food chain (kids are like this where I live). So I guess what I'm getting at... is it an easy thing to get a boyfriend in college? Are people not accepting of gays as they are in the life I'm currently living? And what's it feel like to come out to people and finally let all this off your chest and stop hiding it.

Thanks!

College is definately alot easier to link up with other gay folks, in high school kids are still immature and are ful of uncontrolled raging hormones, i have not come out yet so i don really know much about that. Good luck with exploring other gay guys.

 

[hotatlboi]

most colleges yes are much more accepting and there are usually gay groups and such.

Well, if you're really and truly gay, you might want to change your orientation to the left there.

Secondly, yes, college is almost always easier for homosexuals. (Although high schools seem to be getting easier, too.) Almost every single college has a gay student union. Go to the first "getting to know you" meeting they have, swap stories, and get to know some people. (Yes, even the lesbians.) Even if nobody there totally floats your boat, they can still be friends, and they'll have other gay friends...

Yup.

Come on out of the closet when you're in college.

Yup.

Come on out of the closet when you're in college.

And enjoy every goddamned minute of it thereafter.

I regret not coming out when i had the chance / when my life stepped into college.
I'm a senior now and graduating soon, and im so in the closet and so afraid to come out.

Damn. I should have. It must've been more fun. but oh well

Even I regret it a little, I just came out about 6 months ago during my sophomore year in college...I know it could be worse though, but yeah college (depending on where, but most of them) is a great place to come out

 

[spencer]

depends on what college

I would have to agree that coming out in college was much easier than in high school, where people are more mature--at least, you can only hope most are.

Before I went off to college, I promised myself that I would come out in college and truly be myself for once. At first, it was hard, since I didn't know much people in college nor knew anyone that I felt comfortable enough to come out to. But, as time progressed, I found a group of friends and I began to let it out. Once I did, it spread like a virus and soon enough most people knew that I am gay--perhaps that was only because I go to a school of about 1,200 students.

But yes, I cheer you on, come out in college. Do it only for yourself and no one else. Enjoy the best four years of your life, living them as your true self.

I do not regret coming out as soon as I came to college, in fact, it was a great decision. Everyone was very supportive and accepting. I loved my Freshmen year and am looking forward to going back. I can hardly wait.

Be brave and come out. It'll do you good.

Best of luck!

Oh, and once you do, stay away from these "college orgies."

Yet another, great but most importantly healthy decision you will make in college.

Trust.
