That was a surprising answer, but I suppose it depends on where in the U.S. one is, and with whom one comes in contact. I thought you would be from some country where there were not so many countrymen who would like to kill you.

Florida. Even though it is a red state, there are laws protecting gay people from discrimination in the workplace, unlike other states since those silly religious freedom laws have been surfacing.

How and when did you come out? I was 15 in a Maths lesson.

I first came out near the end of my high school career, to my best friend. It was when I was seventeen, I think?

And after that did you come out wholesale, with all guns blazing, like Nathan/Justin. Or was it more low key than that. For me I'd have to say it was all guns blazing.

I did not come out to many people in high school. Only a few. It was only in college that I was truly free to be who I was.

Well I still remember when I decided to be straight. I was sitting there thinking about sucking cock. But then I just decided. Nope, not going to do the gay. So I started think about tits and ass. Pretty straight forward really.

I am, though I hate shaving my face. I prefer to have a modicum of facial hair, though nothing resembling a beard.

Given the choice to do it over again I'd rather have waited till college when people were more mature.
What about your parents? Were they accepting? Mine weren't but little by little I think they're getting there, my mum more than my dad though.
PS Do tell me to shut up if I'm being a nuisance
