Your relationships and your sexuality

[immense]

i pretty much have no friends since i came out

[TAYLOOOOR]

I came out when I was 15, I'm 17 now and happily in a long relationship with my boyfriend ... Nothing has changed luckily, My Mum is happy as long as I'm happy...As well for the rest of the family, it was great. It weren't a big deal as they all said they knew as I'm pretty camp. My friends said it was obvious and yeah anyone elses opinions I couldn't give a **** about

So I've had it lucky... My boyfriends family are very accepting however he has had a lot of 'friends' in the past that have labeled him as their 'gay best friend' ... They only started talking and wanting to him when he came out ... He has now got rid of the fake friends ... The ones that forever asked him to find them a boyfriend & to go shopping.

Just because we're gay, It doesn't mean we want to be put into the stereotype.

Yeah we walk down the streets holding hands... We're proud to be who we are. We're in love...Like any other couple in love.

a few friends kinda drifted after, but then i cam to realize that they weren't real friends...

Lmao a revolving door then publicised?
And i think now it's all getting better. I don't know many people who are militant homophobic - abusive etc. Some people keep it in, and you can notice it. Like my Dad's mates. Only one or two know but if something remotely gay comes on the conversation they just clam up! And Immense are you even gay?

my best friend is quite obviously gay and came out to his dad a few months back, when drunk.
his dad basically shrugged it off as a 'sick joke' and told him that if he told his mom 'it would kill her'.

it completely crushed him, and i find it bizarre that they can't accept it, because he is very obviously gay.
i guess the truth is hard to swallow.

i feel sososo bad for him, he's such a lovely guy and for his own father to say that to him just cause of his sexuality. arghhh.

I never came out during School. In my school i never really seen anyone getting any abuse for being gay. But no one was really "out".
As for the "way of life" comment, it's not really a choice. My lifestyle is a choice, not my sexuality, my looks or my way of thinking. of course I can influence all three, but some things are innate.

Publicized, your friend may be camp (for some reason camp people irritate me lmao), but he could still be straight. Being camp is in no way connected to being gay. As for his father, he's a harsh *******. Some people just hide under a rock.

If we're talking about Pete here my lord he's gay as the day is long, there is nothing straight about him. I don't get how you couldn't like Pete regardless of him being gay or not, he's such a nice guy

I tell people I'm gay when I'm not so they let me touch them

I don't get it. D'you mean women bring down their guards if you pretend to be gay?

A few people have treated me differently. One person that really kinda hurt me was my previous best mate, we were like brothers but don't really talk anymore.

My family treat me exactly the same as they did before. I've always been really close to my mum and shes always been really supportive about everything and treats my boyfriend like her own son which is great, don't speak to my dad sooooo.

so what lol he was HOT andddddddd kaz was devastated lol don't tell lies!!!

everyone treats me the same lol

I chose "Nothings changed" but I haven't exactly came out to everyone.
I came out to all my close friends, and most of the others suspect I'm slightly 'bent', even some of them say things like "you and him make such a good couple" etc. about my boyfriend even though they don't know we're together :L
My mum has been a bit weird since I told her, but shes basically okay with it.
I'm planning on never telling my Dad, at least not until I move out or he changes alot. Simply because it is very likely he'll kick me out
The rest of my family, half I'm sure would be fine, the other half I'm completely unsure about
