I'm a 16 year old guy in high school, and I have confirmed that I'm gay. I have begun coming out, and have told my closest friends and my immediate family. However, I would like to be open with some of my casual friends as well, but don't know how to break the news to them. What would be the best way to tell them that would be the least offensive? (e.g.- How would you prefer to have a friend tell you he/she was gay? One-on-one conversations, emails, hearsay from another, AIM, what?)
Also: if I have a crush on another guy, but don't know if he's gay or straight (assume straight, but only because it's the social norm and everybody HAS to act that way), what is the best way to tell him without causing hard feelings if it turns out he's straight? (e.g.- Guys, if a person you knew told you he had a crush on you, how could he tell you so that you would not feel like you had to break the friendship off?)
PS- I have no intention of acting differently (flaming) to come out. It's not who I am.
