Come out of the closet NSG !

Yes people, today is International Coming Out day !

So most vocal gaybashers.. step forward and admit that your fascination with condemning homosexuality arose from a wild, passionate desire to experience it yourself !

Come on - you know you want to. You can be honest today.

And to have some debate: do the good people of NSG agree it is a good thing for people to be honest about their feelings ?

"I have to tell you something"

"Is my fly down? *looks*

"No, it isn't that."

"Something stuck in my teeth?"

"No, nothing like that. I just feel I have to be honest with you about something."

"Well, I suppose I'll have to beat the crap out of you for being a dishonest bastard. What did you want to tell me, you lying whore?"

"You aren't making this easy."

"Sorry. I'll try to be more serious" *makes funny faces*

*sighs* "I'm gay."

*waits* "... and?"

"That's it."

"Oh. Okay. Can I have some of your fries?"

"Doesn't that matter to you?"

"Why should it? I still wouldn't fuck you." *grabs some fries* "At least now I know why you get so many boners in wrestling practice."

"Fuck you! You get em too."

"Spandex makes me horny."

...




To the best of my memory, that is a close approximation of a conversation I had with a high school buddy about 20 years ago. So in conclusion, WHo gives a shit? Can I have some of your fries?

I can't say I ever came out of the closet in the normal sense. I didn't (and still don't) consider it an important thing to be proclaiming to people I know. If they asked I told them, if they didn't they probably found out from someone else or on facebook, though on that I feel it's no different from posting your political or religious views - and I get odd looks for saying that.

I have a friend who, after coming out, took all his friends aside individually when he saw them and told them. I didn't understand this, but I respect his decision to do it. It's like he wanted to reinvent himself as a person, whereas I wanted to act the same to him regardless of it.

* This is not necessarily a judgment on my attractiveness, merely that I tend to hang out with an SF&F society which is 90% male.

I'm transgender (male-to-female) and bisexual. I'm like two for the price of one for the LGBT society at uni. Pretty much everyone except my extended family who either do manual work of the construction type or just take the welfare know about it (I hardly ever see them, and I hardly think they'd react well, maybe murder by scaffolding pole or papercuts from welfare cheque?). In terms of friends, acquaintances, well its hard for them not to know I'm trans, its pretty freakin' obvious. In terms of the bi-ness, hardly anyone knows because I'm not looking for any relationship at all at the moment, so its pretty much an irrelevance, innit?

Well, you've forced it out of me, and I will come clean. It's taken a long time, and I've wanted to shout it for a while now, but I could never bring myself to do so. Still, I suppose it's time, and there is nobody I'd rather share this moment with than my dear, dear friends of NSG: I'm still not gay.

I know it's a big shock, but it's the truth, I'm very much attracted to those without a Y chromosone. It's probably as big a surprise to my friends and family as it is to you, none of them saw it coming, either, but I don't see any way I could have softened the blow, other than remaining closeted-hetero. I'm sorry if this changes the way any of you feel about me, but I just couldn't keep it hidden any longer. I'm still me, still Klonor, but I couldn't keep living with secrets like that. I hope you'll all still accept me as I am.

Personally, I've always found the fact that people feel the need to stay in the closet a little disturbing. I'm not distrubed by them, mind you, but by the fact that they're forced to hide who they are. I'm not going to use the always annoying "in this day and age..." line, but I honestly feel that by now we, as a society and as a species, should have moved beyond pointless classifications and labels to what really matters, and what really divides us as a species (I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Gaters need to unite!). Unfortunately, until we reach that point there's still going to be pointless stigma attached to something as simple as sexual orientation, and until we get rid of that, I applaud those with the courage to accept the confrontation by coming out of the closet, and sympathize with those still inside.






And just so we're clear, I am, in fact, not gay.

Cal: I think? I mean, that sounds ga- I just want you to know this is like the first conversation of like three conversations that leads to you being gay. Like... there's this and then in a year it's like, "Oh you know, I kinda wanna, ya know, get back out there but I think I like guys" and then there's the big, "Oh I'm I'm a g-gay guy now".
David: You're gay for saying that.
Cal: I'm gay for saying that?
David: You know how I know you're gay?
Cal: How? How do you know I'm gay?
David: Because you macramed yourself a pair of jean shorts.
Cal: You know how I know *you're* gay? You just told me you're not sleeping with women any more.
David: You know how I know that you're gay?
Cal: How? Cuz you're gay? and you can tell who other gay people are.

'Course not. Everyone always assume you're straight, until proven otherwise. It's the very reason gays and lesbians have to come out.

If parents, family and friends all over just asked "Do you have somebody in your life" instead of "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?", that would be a lot of progress right there.

I think a much greater percentage of the world is probably bisexual than is currently thought, but I reject the idea that everyone is bisexual "to some degree". There are definitely people like you, and my mom, the straightest person I know, that are just heterosexual. Not repressed, not homophobic, just straight.

LOL. My ex had a similar conversation with his mom, who thought he was gay because he never brought any girls to meet her. He finally had to tell her, "I'm not gay, I'm just ashamed of you." :P To be fair, his mom walked out on the family when he was very little.

Friend: What?

I have to say I never had that, my general coming out speech tends to run along the lines of either random mentioning of (ex)-girlfriends or the "you do realize I'm gay" if relevant to the conversation. I've never had it as this big secret that I need to come out of. It's just part of who I am, some people pick it up, so people need to be told, but generally it's just one facet of me as a person and frankly not a very important one (unless I'm on the pull, when it does become important deciding factor on chatting girls up :D)

haha...we actually did talk a little further (oddly enough, over the pizza we ordered) because he still looked confused. I basically told him that I knew him better than anyone and already kinda suspected, and never cared. He's safe, he's happy, I'm happy.

Nothing better. Except maybe disco fries...Damnit, now I'm hungry again.
Good... because that's a good indication on how he took your reply. ;)
haha...yes, the blank stare as I ate my pizza kinda gave it away.

*blank stare*
WHAT!
...still nothing?
Listen kid. I'll say this once. You repete any of this, I'll kill you. Got it?
*says nothing*
No. Seriously. Got it? Pretend you just asked me for a kidney.
I hate you.
If you want to keep your balls, you'll say "got it".
Alright...got it.
I love you. I know you better than anyone, and you being gay isn't changing that. I'd actually consider givi...
...I swear, if you say kidney, I'm going to scream...
Fine. I'd actually consider giving you a lung. Better? Now don't interrupt. As long as you're safe and happy, then we're good. You date an asshole, I'll kick his ass because we all know you hit like a ten year old girl. Now relax. I know you wanted a response, but you picked the wrong kid for that. Instead, you got a person who doesn't care what makes you happy, as long as you're happy. Now can I eat my pizza without you staring at me? It's making me feel like your sitting there thinking "God, if only he'd cut back on the pizza..."


That last comment got a piece of chicken thrown at me. And yes, I still don't allow him to bring that up. Bastard got a sappy moment out of me.

I had something similar with a friend once, I think my reaction was "wait wait, you realize that like, EVERY one of your friends knows this, right? We kinda never assumed you weren't....you mean this whole time you were trying to keep it a secret?"

Hee, I had a friend like that, too. It was fairly hilarious, especially given the sheer number of openly gay people in our social circle. He was almost annoyed that no one reacted with anything stronger than, "...well, duh."

I also have one male friend who I used to tease endlessly about his secret crushes on boys. Then he finally went and admitted he had secret crushes on boys and spoiled the whole joke. Now I tease him about ruining my jokes instead. :tongue:

I look forward to a day when people will no longer have to "come out" as gay. Does anyone ever sit their parents down and give them the "mom, dad, I'm straight" talk?

Like JuNii, I had to come out of the straight closet and have the 'I'm straight' talk. I've had to have it with family, co-workers, the local hospital and my student volunteers.

With family, it was because of my visible lack of dating for nearly a decade some 10 years ago, at which point my mother was so looking forward to being the supportive mother of a gay son that I can't help but feel it came as a crushing disappointment to find out I was straight.

With co-workers while working in the US, assumptions were made because I was single, in my mid-late 20s, had a British accent, put my hands on my hips (because I had a bad back), and clearly wasn't dating. Which probably says more about central Virginia than me.

With the local hospital, it was all of the above, added to which was the apparent assumption that someone with the above social markers who was also hospitalised with my symptoms simply had to be HIV-positive. Again, this probably says more about central Virginia than me.

With my student volunteers, it was because - when still in my early 30s, but single - I refused to sleep with two attractive teenagers (on different nights, I hasten to add) who drunkenly threw themselves at me in my tent during archaeological fieldwork. My restraint could apparently only be explained away by the young women concerned through the belief that I was gay. Curiously enough, one of them later announced that she was a lesbian.

It's almost enough to make me wonder why I've confused so many people's gaydar, but my wife assures me that I'm straight....

I had a friend like that too. He introduced his boyfriend first, then felt that he had to add that he was bisexual (which later morphed into just gay).

When my only reaction was to give the boyfriend a hug and welcome him to our circle of friends, my friend asked, "You're not really surprised, are you?" He did seem almost annoyed that it just wasn't a big deal - although that shouldn't have surprised him.

Not necessarily, but it is a sign that the End of Days is near. And another thing: the Rapture has been cancelled due to budget cuts. Even the Kingdom of God feels the credit crunch.

I've spoken briefly about it before, but I suppose there's no harm in doing so again. I am gay (for those of you who still think I'm a girl, I'm not, I'm a guy). :o I've been in a relationship for a year and one month, and things are going amazing, despite a rough patch a few months ago. We've got a lot of plans ahead for us, including fixing up a house out in a small town, in the middle of nowhere, which he already owns.
