yeah, having religious parents/judgemental parents would be really hard. my dad's kinda in denial - it hasnt come up again since i told him, and i told him after my ex and i broke up so he hasnt had to deal with me dating a girl (long story as to why i had to tell him, not v interesting).

i guess it's not *that* hard to fake straight until you get involved with ppl, that's when it becomes difficult. dating a girl was the catalyst for me telling most of my friends, and they were all really cool about it. i feel a lot better now that i'm not trying to hide who i am. but you gotta do what you gotta do, and if hiding it works for you, then go with it. i just got to a point where i couldnt be fucked really. hehe, laziness. but hten again i guess it's less risk in yr12 cos if ppl decide they dont wanna be friends then it's no major loss - if they judge you by sexuality they probably werent worth staying in touch with after yr12 ended anyway. *shrug*

i just feel like its not something i have to come out with.
its my business and dont feel i need to explain it to somebody else..
it just makes it sound like being gay is a bad thing.
you know what for a change, i think straight people should come out aswell,
if your straight, sit your parents down on the sofa, look in to their eyes and say, mum and dad, im straight. their most likely reaction will be something like "so what"

I think the majority of people are straight. But all the other bi, trans, homo and "other" are getting accepted...

You know you could just adopt when you're older, in the meantime your brothers/sisters/cousins will have kids of their own and there is no reason why you can't be involved to at least some extent in their lives.

my mate came out to me last year during HSC and I fully accepted that obviously...but i didnt tell him i was...haha...kinda secretive aren't I?
I gotta admit that I don't understand this...You have a friend that trusts you so greatly, that despite his belief in your facade of heterosexuality and religious background (which condemn's homosexuality yes?) he still tells you this about himself. I'd have thought he'd be the perfect person for you to confide in.

The question is "What's your sexuality?"

not...

"What's your sexuality straight people, oh you disgusting faggots, rancid lesbians, and greedy trendy bisexuals, you seriously all get the fuck out of here, adn take your fucked up idea of sex with you, you disgusting slime"

um if we're all discussing it openly isnt that NOT making a big deal of it? people are just talking about their experiences as straight/gay/lesbian/bi/trans/other individuals. no different from talking about most relationships except ppl are qualifying which gender(s) they want to be involved with. i think the fact that you're so concerned about ppl discussing that is making a big deal. everyone's just comfortably discussing their relationship preferences, not going "OMG you're GAY? lol! i hope you die".

I didn't say you were wrong!
I was just saying you brought it up, without particular reference to member or posts.

hehe it's cool. i can understand where you're coming from, like sexuality is just part of who you are it's not that big a deal, but i guess this forum's just sorta a place for us to discuss that sorta thing, and i know personally i'm comfortable with who i am but i like to read about other ppl's experiences and stuff. *shrugs* you're forgiven ^.^ :p

ha, okay, i'll give you the abbreviated story.

- my parents are separated and i live with my mum
- one day my mum came home while the girl who i ended up dating (we werent dating at the time) was you know hitting on me, and it was fairly obvious she was a lesbian, anyway so mum does the whole interrogation thing and i figure, what the hell, might as well tell her
- me and my girl get together, date for a few months, then she comes away with me and my family. my mum decides that she doesn't like the way i was being treated (bs, she just didnt see everything that was going on, we had goes at each other but it was in fun, oh she also claimed i was being distracted,not true, got waaaaay more distracted/apathetic after the break up. not once that week did we fight). aaaaaaanyway, so we get back, drop her off, mum's fuming and says that i'm banned from msn (my primary way of communicating with my girl).
- i'm in the car with dad going up to his place, his phone rings, mum tells him to enforce computer ban and says they're going to have to have a talk.
- i'm assuming that this is mum giving me a chance to tell dad that i dated a girl. i figured it would be better coming from me than my pissed off mother. so i told him. it was mildly awkward, but yeah. *shrugs*

anyway so my mum banned me from seeing my girl, i was shattered. i became really depressed for a couple of months, was really shitty for a couple of months, mum and i had a huuuuuuuuge fight, she lifted the ban, but by then it was too late for me to get back with my girl (plus some stuff had been said which shouldnt have been, mainly cos i was really emotionally fucked up, and she was probably right when she said it wouldnt work anyway).

so the story ends here - my ex and i are now quite friendly, we caught up over coffee the other day, she's got a new g/f, i'm on the lookout and stuff with me and my mum is all good. so life's looking up. i'm figuring i have way better chances of meeting ppl at uni in sydney than at high school in wollongong, so i'm hanging out for that. in the meantime i'm just chilling, hooking up with guys at parties, attempting to hook up with girls lol
