the need to be accepted is human nature but really if the don't accept you for what you are they are not worth it, do you want to be a part of this type of closed minded society, i no i wouldn't. a society where gayism is not really accepted does such a place exist in today's world, maybe you should be the one that changes the way your society looks a gays. there is no need to be scared just be yourself maybe they might surprise you and not be so closed minded. good luck

First of all I think it is awesome that you are such a good friend to him and will support him no matter what!!!  Some people would just turn their backs on their friend if they found out something like that, which i think is ridiculous.  I think that you should tell him that you have suspected for a long time that he is gay and would just like to know if it was true.  Then just tell him that you will be there for him with anything he needs..a shoulder to cry on, a friend to talk to, or just emotional support...Good Luck

Tell her that you're gay, but to not tell anyone because you don't want to come out yet.

DON'T ASK HIM. - he needs to find the right time to tell you. If you ask him he will be offended and he WILL dislike you. Turst me on this one. I'm bi and people use to ask me occasionally if I was gay, I wasn't and I hadn't come out and it used to really piss me off, even friends said it and I would hate them for saying it.

How can a gay person know what it is like to be straight?

If you come out, it should be about you, not your friend. You could mention to your friend that you might be gay, but dont be trying to 'convert' him. You are either born gay or you are born straight.

If you are really his friend you can mention that you are open minded enough to not care if someone is gay or straight without putting your friend on the spot by asking him if he is gay. If he is in fact gay (and you don't know if he is or isn't) he will tell you when he is comfortable enough to tell you. Just let him know that he can tell you anything and you will stay friends with him because of the person he is, not because of who he likes.

Get command of the English language and then write back so that we  understand you. As to male/male sex...have fun. Be safe, enjoy...if you are gay...live your life. Be the person that you would be proud to be. Stop listening to everyone else. Listen to your heart.

You say there's nothing wrong with being gay. Tell your brother that and then tell him that you think he might be gay because of what he said to your friend. There's nothing like being up front with people for getting an honest answer. You'll just have to trust him to be honest back.\n\nFirst person I came out to was my brother. He had no idea I was gay but everybody knew he was okay with gay people so I trusted him. He didn't betray my trust and he was way cooler about the whole thing than I could have hoped. Good luck with your bro :-)

The best thing to do is to steer the questions ever so subtly to the gay without saying it. If he knows you're gay then it'll be a little trickier, but if not just say compliment a guy and see if he agrees... Worked for me in high school... it's just so much harder cause so many guys have "gay" mannerisms and gays usually play the "straight" (if there is such a thing)...

Tell her the truth bro...The whole "Gay" thing will backfire on ya because then she will tell everyone you know and then people will think your gay....Tell her the truth...I would rather people think that im an A-hole for telling the truth...then think that im a fag for lying.

I know how you feel and its not as bad as you might think it is.\nActually the others dont really care much and the only one who would care is the girl that would be your first hit - and I wouldnt even tell her. Because its no one elses business actually.\n\nIf you are worried about people thinking you are gay- well just occasionally mention some "hot" chick you seen crossing the street, or how you got drunk and lost your wallet in a strip joint.\n\nJust dont take it too serious - it really doesnt matter :)

Simply go up and tell him. If you have a friend tell him, it will get twisted around. He'll appreciate it more if you are open and just tell him. :)

Just look gay in public. Trust me there are a lot of guy people out there. Which is perfectly fine in my book. I find different sexual prefferences\ninteresting.

PLEASE! For the sake of embarrassment, DON'T ASK HIM!! If he's still in the closet, he'll only get angry, and you'll lose any chance of ever finding out. Instead of asking him, just put yourself out there if you are comfortable with your bisexuality. Do you have any close friends at work who may be friends with him also? They may be able to find out in some mysterious way. My best friend is a gay male, and he just recently came out over the summer of 2005. He's going through the same thing right now. It's tough, but hang in there. You just need to build your confidence, and the rest will come! Best of luck!

My brother is gay and he still hasn't told the whole family!  He's told a select few of us, and that's all.  However, he did tell both of our parents.  How he did this:  He took them out to eat and told them plain and simple.  I'm not sure how your family is, but my family is very accepting, and my parents didn't mind so much.  No offense, but if your family is any good - they already have a clue!  So the answer to your question?  The sooner, the better.  Take your folks out to dinner and ask them how best to tell the rest of your family.  Do not be afraid, and know that life goes on, no matter what might happen.  The world will continue turning.\n\nI hope this helps.
