Okay, so I have this friend who is gay. And he really wants to tell his parents, they said they'd love him not matter what, but also, they don't approve of gays too much. I'm thinking of talking to them myself, but then he might get mad at me. So I really don't know what I should do, or what he should do actually. I told him to wait until he moves out to tell them, but he said he might feel guilty for doing that, letting them think that he was straight for 18 years or so.. then all of a sudden breaking the news. What should I do? Talk to his parents for him, or just leave it to him? And if I leave it up to him, can you give any advice for me to tell him? Thanks! (link)

Its funny to me how people hate gays until their own son/daughter or friend come out of the closet. I say its their own problem.
Your friend has the courage to lay his cards down on the table. The move is his parents now. Perhaps, he should contact PFLAG - Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays - before he talks to his parents. They will assist him, as well as provide a outlet for his parents when they decide to have as much courage as their son and work on their own problems.

I am 17 years old and I feel that it is time for me to tell my friends and parents about me being gay. I have managed to tell a few friends already, and they took it easy. I don't want my other friends (guys in particular and girls that hate gays) to turn around and say that I am gross and never talk to me again. How do I tell them and my parents without it sounding so harsh? I am still the same person as before..

There are many books in your public library that can assist you with telling your friends and family that you are gay. Please do some discrete research to soothe your thoughts. Also, contact an organization called PFLAG. They too can assist you.
Most importantly, be true to yourself. Do not conform to the stereotypes you and your friends have for what gay men should be. You are free from the secrets now, and you have a lot of work to catch up to the everyone else's level of growth.

ok..see, i put in sub posts about being through puberty and being called names and stuff and theres another thing bothering me! i dont really have guy friends..like i have friends that are guys that i say hi to like every 2 weeks. i really only have about 3-5 guy friends that i can actually talk to. all the rest are girls! i dont know why i dont have guy friends. maybe its because they all think im gay (im not though). (IM A GUY BY THE WAY) (link)

know who you are, know what you like, and do them. you will find others just like you if you partake in the activities that you like to do.

There is only one person that you have to prove this to. Yourself. If you do not get sexually/emotionally aroused by thoughts of other men, what does it matter. If you walk around thinking others just might think you are gay, then others just might think you are gay. If you walk around secure in yourself thinking of whatever else, others will get over the rumors and move on. They truly have better things to do.
