So I was thinking about what it is like to come out of the closet...and I have some issues
Technically I am out of the closet but not completely. All of my friends back in my hometown (i am currently away from home at school) know thar I am gay but my parents do not. (all of my friends are straight and the only gay friends that I have are people on the net)
Everytime I meet a new group of people it is like I have to come out of the closet again. They never know I am gay. I am not the obvious type of gay-feminine guy that you would know was homosexual at first sight/encounter. And right when i think i should tell them, they always tend to throw that comment about something being "gay" or make a joke that makes me feel like crap when they don't know that ther are making a comment to gay who is right in front of them.
So I want to ask if anybody else has had/have this issue and how do you go about it. Also, what tips and advice would you recommend so that everyone would know I am gay without having to compromise my output and my personality.
I also want to ask if i should ever come out to my parents and how??? (my mother is one of those religious moms who believe being gay means you'll go to hell... and my father is a little more supportive but still makes comments one a drag queen that lives across the street from us)
