Before I came out, I made the assumption that I could tell how each person would react. I was wrong. Boy was I surprised. My friends and relatives from my small town, some of whom are distant relatives were not upset at all. In fact, they were less than being bothered. But, some people like my high school friend and my father, both of whom I was close to kinda acted like acted like crap. They wouldn't speak to me for years. It took a lot of kissing ass to make them warm up to me and see that I was the same person. I didn't change because I was gay. Soon, they came to accept me. But what can people do when coming out? Should they assume what each person will think or just come out and don't give a damn?

Never assume what someone is gonna think or how they gonna act when you give them some shit news like that. When I say shit, I mean news that they didn't expect or that they were not ready to handle. For them, it is shit news and you just come spoil their day with that shit news. That is exactly what my mom told me when I came out. she said I messed up her day with my shit news. Today, she and I are buddies again...lol! -
Assumptions will only come ot haunt you and hurt you. You got to just tell who you choose to tell and hope that they accept it. If they don't, that is not your problem. They gonna have to deal with it. Just conitnue to live your life the same way.Comment

There are some people that will respond differently to any news. That is just how life is. So whether the news is coming our or not, you have to be prepared by a number of different responses from different people. Fuck the ones who don't accept it and thank the ones who do. It is that simple!Comment

I try not to assume anything in life because people are so weird. Sometimes, the people that you think should embrace your gay lifestyle are not the ones that do because they have hang ups and you probably didn't know they did. So, that is why you cannot assume. Someone might say they have no problems with gays, but when the gay person is a family member or friend, it is just too close for comfort.Comment

No one should assume anything about anyone else, but that is how society rolls. People judge you for whatever reasons. So, if you are to live your life to please these same judgmental people, you will be an unhappy camper.Comment

I understand now that I shouldn't assume anything anymore because some of the people I trusted turned out to be so shady and two faced. I thought I could trust them with the news, but they betrayed me. So I know now I don't have to say a word to anyone cause this is my life and I am gonna life the way I want. Appreciate all your comments.Comment
