Adidasss, Houston's gay pride parade was this weekend. Maybe you should have waited to visit.

I came out to both my mother and my brother about four or five years ago after school. My mom took my newly-announced sexuality fairly well while my brother was rather ambivalent about it (we haven't brought it up since). It wasn't dramatic in any sense of the word, and it would be a bit silly to bore the lot of you with any details... Unfortunately, I'm not openly gay outside of the family... so I have been unable to date (which I plan on changing in the fall... when I attend college). I honestly don't give a damn about the homophobia that runs rampant where I live. I'm tired of lying to people...

That's it.

put me in the same bracket as Brett Anderson

"bisexual who's never had a proper homosexual experience"

You're gay? I thought you were asexual?

That's good to hear man. I hope where ever you go to college is a more open place.

I'm actually kind of glad. My experience with friends coming out led them to over compensate and act like total asses. I don't think I need to tell you that you shouldn't feel like you need to act a certain way for people to get your sexual preferences. To be honest, sexual preference doesn't mean a thing, people just make out to be big. College is usually a better place in terms of more open minded people, I still feel just as miserable here though.

Way to go man! Glad you're comfortable enough to come out to the rest of the site

I'm glad that you feel comfortable enough to tell us this, and I hope that the college you attend has a more inviting atmosphere than the community you live in right now. Way to go

I tell that to people so they don't bother me with certain things of sexual nature. I'm still a prude... just a gay prude.

However, I do apologize for lying.

Being unsure of your sexuality and not wanting to expose it is pretty understandable.
