To give you a little background im from wyoming and come from a very conservative family. I always thought the same thing "what would my friends and family think about me?" until recently when i just sacked up and told them. I was tired of caring about what they would think. Honestly i feel so relieved and so much better about the situation. It reminds me of a quote you used recently "the ones who matter dont mind".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074099964094631823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095913441506295275.post-80021741396532208612010-04-26T12:37:05.973-04:002010-04-26T12:37:05.973-04:00Well I guess you would really know who your friend...Well I guess you would really know who your friends are if they acted differently towards you.<br /><br />On a different note ....

I dont think my family would reject me but may be a little different. And I was thinking about telling my two best friends first as well. It would be hard to tell my team though. Not sure if I would be able to handle doing that after hearing all the negativity about gays in the locker room. Thanks for all the help and advice too!!<br /><br />Scott: I agree, it shouldnt be anyone elses business but I think it would be after seeming so hetero to all my friends and family. I am myself, its just that I dont date anyone or have hook ups. If I did come out, I would be the same person and wouldnt act any differently.

I was always out and didn't even realize it. When I official told my parents (after living with my boyfriend for 3 years) they were like "what ??? You don't think we didn't already know that". So come out or don't come out. Just be yourself because it's no one elses business and I never lost even one single friend because I am gay.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09712128299910000151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095913441506295275.post-35283341088181472302010-04-22T20:51:48.238-04:002010-04-22T20:51:48.238-04:00Everyone that I've talked to about this has st...Everyone that I've talked to about this has struggled with the same fears. I even tried to distance myself from my family for a few years, telling myself that they're not so important, I can live without them if they reject me once I come out. It didn't work, and they didn't reject me. Only afterward did my mom point out all the gays and lesbians in the family. The adults all knew, it was just never talked about. Thanks a lot for that, mom. It would have made it much easier if I had known.<br /><br />I won't tell you to come out, because that is a decision that each person has to make. Most people start out telling one friend. It does get easier, somewhat, the more you do it. I would say that most college aged people don't care so much, but with athletes and at a religious school that might be different, idk.
