Gay Relationships

I wouldn't be able to tell anyone. It's not right in my house. Wrong, I know, but true.

I haven't really read all of the thread so I'll just jump in. I know I could tell my parents if I was a different sexuality if I chose to, but I would really choose not to, I know they would be supportive and follow me in any decision I make but I wouldn't be ready to tell them yet.

Becca, her Dad may have been in a state of shock and may have to warm to the idea. But he still shouldn't have forbid her from ever speaking to her again. He should support her, or in time support her, not make her self esteem go down.

Her dad may have made her think she had done something wrong, in which she hasn't this could corrupt her confidence and may not be able to trust some people anymore. However, I think that your friend should have been quiet about it, and told her family in time before anyone else, then it wouldn't have got round to her dad without her knowing.

something that baffles me is the need to tell people like your sexuality and just brand yourself. i really dont see why people have to know or you should tell people. you dont tell people that you are straight do you? so i dont see why there should be a rule to "coming out" or whatever.
if i ever got into a relationship with a guy and someone said to me "you never told me you were gay" i would reply "you never asked" and it isnt their business anyway really..

just my thought
