Oh wow, you're really lucky! It took almost a year for me to get approved iirc.

I think I still have a lot to say about many topics but this thread for instance moves so goddamn fast. There's a lot of interesting stuff discussed here but when I see it the subject has already changed a dozen times and then it's too late.

Seems like I've entered the old geezer phase.

You can always bring up old topics again. I've done it many times. XD

I'm thinking of coming out to work colleagues on an upcoming night out. Wise decision?

I know they'll be supportive and I think it'll actually please one of them a lot but I don't want to turn the night into about me or whatever. Just thought it would be nice to get that out with them all being there...

 

[Earth Sick]

Havin' so much fun playing FFX-2. Great game!

On the subject of books/media, I highly recommend Jeanette Winterson - her first novel, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, is one of the most brilliant books I have ever read. It's the semi-autobiographical story of her childhood and adolescence (she was adopted and raised by evangelical missionaries, and had to come to terms with her identity as a lesbian). This was made into a BBC series in the early 90s - you can find it on DVD.

Are they coworkers or friends? Its not like they had to tell you they were straight. Just do what you'd normally do and they'll pick up on it.

I never find it comfortable to say, but among some classmates in a car after a movie night, I told them and the ones who were shocked got all of us laughing. I had decided to say it because I knew they were all fine with it already thanks to another guy they knew and there had been some awkward jokes toward me about getting me a girlfriend earlier in the night.

If you consider them friends and it would loosen up your conversation in a way you want, then best of luck. Worked out for me.

They're friends as well as co-workers. But I've never been able to really be myself around them because none of them know. The reason I want to tell them is so I don't have to hide stuff about me and can just be me, rather than skirting around the subject. I've wanted to bring it up at work numerous times, whenever conversation went that way, but bringing it up and blurting it out at work just seemed the wrong place and super awkward I guess.

If it would make yourself feel more comfortable then I don't see the harm in just saying "Hey, guys. I don't want to make a big deal but I wanted to just throw it out there and move on but I'm gay. There. Thats it. Lets not make a big deal out of it. I need another beer."

Just casual and not a "Guys, sit down. We need to talk and have a serious discussion." type tone.

and just cuz. Hot military guy with doge

I went casual saying it. To others, especially friends who are already accepting in general, it isn't a big deal. The most awkward part would be making it serious, rather than the information. Say it casually and things should move along nicely, I'd imagine.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Yeah it'll defo be casual but I know they're going to want to know all the juicy deets too like relationships and who I fancy at work etc. which in turn makes the night almost just about me and I hate being the centre of conversation. Well it's only natural I guess but it's not going to be a quick "I'm gay lol" and move on type thing I wouldn't have thought.

I said it in the car because it was with a smaller segment of the group and minutes from the group splitting for the night. Maybe say it during a lull near the end of the night?

If everyone is drunk that might not be the best time. Not that there really is a right time. Its just whenever you feel most comfortable.

 

[DOWN]

Oh, didn't think about that. Nobody drank enough to be drunk when I said it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but the reason why I don't like rap is that the general rythm and the tendency of talking rather than melodically singing just rubs me the wrong way. I know that's a generalisation, but I just genuinely don't like the way it sounds.

With that said I acknowledge that there are a lot of truly great rap songs and artists and that the way some of them use language is remarkable and way beyond what most of the pop scene is capable of. It's just not for me.

Nah, that makes sense to me. Some people just want some singing.
