coming out for me was probably one of the most stressfull moments in my life...
i was blackmailed into it - which probably sounds worse than it is - but when your 19 and someone is threatening to tell your dad that his youngest son is a screaming homosexual... yes well...
I was having anxiety attacks left right & centre
I told dad I was gay
His response was - "as long as you are happy"
you could have floored me - I was expecting to be thrown out of home etc - but for a european male (we're dutch) he was very cool with it - he walked into my bedroom one time when i was giving my first boyfriend head and he didn't even blink.
Although 14 years later and he still thinks I am going through a phase *laughs*
Came to my friends at about the same point in time and I lost a lot of them because they couldn't handle it. I had my best friend from high school ask me if why couldn't I be bi - that he could understand and accept... I basically told him where to go in no short order.
I think as other people have said it all depends...
If I had my life to live over - would I come out? no
I don't see why I should have to tell people that I am gay
its not like heterosexuals have to admit to being heterosexual - so I don't see why gay men and lesbians feel this compulsion to come out...
congrats moi sorry you posted while i was typing
