OK I can not wait for Oprah to get off vacation so, I made this question as, well I can't think of the word but I made this question in the form of an interview for you, 10 points for best answer.
question # 1 so people who are gay and lesbian on yahoo tell me, how much heat did you get if you came out in high school?

question # 2- when did you know when it was the right time for you to come out to your parents? and what was their reaction?
did they kick you out the house?

question # 3- if you have friends that are not gay or lesbian, when you came out to them, did they treat you differently, and
how did they handle the shocking news?

1.) Not too much. Only one time did something negative come from it. One of my friends who was a girl told everybody I was hitting on her which was totally untrue. I still to this day have no idea why she did it. It hurt my feelings because we were good friends and as soon as she found out she started acting very uncomfortable around me and then she told everyone I was hitting on her. It made no sense at all!

2.) Well, I came out when I was 16 or 17. I knew it was right just because it felt right, ir felt like it would be such a huge relief. My mom was very supportive and actually happy because she had known since I was 3 yrs old or so she says. We celebrated!

3.) I tell all my friends almost right away because I love to talk about my girlfriend, she is a huge part of my life. Only women have treated me differently. Most of them do not but some of them all the sudden want nothing to do with me. Whatever, I don't care, It's not like I'm going to jump out of a tree and rape them, lol. Sometimes, I do wonder what they are thinking, though. Ya know, why? Why do the get so scared of me, It's silly because I am harmless!

#1. The high school was fine. They consider it discrimination if people treat others badly because they are different.

There was one incident where a kid came up an punched my nephew in the lunch room, requiring some stitches. The kid never admitted as to why he did it. We filed charges, he AND his parents were required to go to counseling, he had to do community service, and he moved about 20 miles away. (However, this kid had been in trouble with school before.)

#2. My nephew came out when he felt he could no longer live a lie. His dad was very mean, telling him he hated him, screaming, hitting things, making my nephew cry. I toss his dad out and told him to take his temper tantrum somewhere else. My nephew's mom and sister and I (the aunt) stayed with my nephew and held him. (Since both the dad and the nephew live with me, the only one who'd end up getting tossed out would be the dad.)

#3 - My nephew's friends had absolutely no problem with it.

Other - The dad finally came to grips with his son and his son's boyfriend by just not ever mentioning the "gay" word. Apparently he thinks it would make him less of a man at work as a pipe fitter. (Red necks with low self esteem, apparently)

For me, at first my head had no problem with it. Later in the day after my nephew told me, my heart had a problem with it as I know the trials and tribulations he would have to live through with this kind of life. I also had this irrational idea that he had "changed". So, each day after work I'd have to go in his bedroom and talk to him about his day. Once I found he was just the same as he always was, I was reassured and no longer worried.

My nephew is a pacifist, does not drink, smoke or do drugs, and always has a ready laugh. I do not have to worry about unwanted pregnancies. He is very adult and gives me no attitude about chores or anything.

I would not change him for anything.

1. When I came out, I was seventeen. My grandma encouraged me to come out. She said, " If you come out, you'll be miserable until your family gets over it. If you wait, you'll be miserable until you come out." My friends were okay with it. Those who weren't okay with it, weren't my friends to begin with.

2. I just knew it was time. My dad called me sick; he still does. I haven't spoken to him in years. My mom condemned me to Hell, she's a Catholic convert. She still loves me, she just doesn't want me to go to Hell. All three of us kids are doomed according to our mom, for not going to the True Church. They didn't kick me out of the house, but they did send me to a therapist who "specialized" in converting queers. Didn't work, obviously.

3. Like much of the world, 90% of my friends are breeders. They're okay with it. Those who had problems with it, weren't my friends to begin with.

Is this what you asked for, more or less?

Take care.
