I am not gay, but my best friend is and he had a terrible time coming out. It depends on who you are and what circles you travel in. I quite enjoyed the rumors, for years people thought we were having an affair, how funny. He and I are so close people really couldn't understand the relationship. So many women threw themselves at him so they assumed he was some how committed to me because he never bit. What I do for my friends. Being married 18 years people talked. LOL When he did finally come out to his family I think he mother was relieved in a way. ( She hated me because she thought I was keeping him from getting married.) I was relieved too cuz it allowed me to clear my name. I do remember when he told me. He was so nervous and sweaty, we went to dinner and he told me over dessert. I was so happy he told me. I already knew, but I never wanted to pressure him into talking about it. I was just happy he didnt have to hide his feelings anymore, and we could talk about the things that best friends talk about, love, relationships..... men. I wouldnt trade him for the world I love him just the way he is. I just pray that more people like him gain the courage to free themselves of thier secret. He's so much happier now.
