        I guess that the remaining 10℅ of these people that you know are.. just people that you don't have many things to do together! They should be something like strangers!!

          It's very sad, most people I know are still in the closet afraid of the reaction of the society.

                Still good. Don't need everybody to know right? As much as you care about people you can tell them. Though living out of the total closet sure has its advantages and more chances to meet somebody.

                  Only my family doesn't know I'm gay, so that's a huge percent of people I know who are aware of my orientation: around 85% give or take.

                  It's still hard for me to tell my family, because the moment I do, I'd be forced out of the house. Or shot at. I remember the last time there was a hint of gayness I showed. And the one guy appreciating another excuse is bullshit to my mother's ears.

                  So yeah, that's a debbie downer. But hey, when I move out, I can be at ease with myself.

                      I am out to everyone.  :cheers:

                      I came out when I was 19 and moved to the UK from South Africa.

                      It was very easy for me because I had no family in the UK at the time, So I could be myself, I was here for a few months and then sent an email to all my friends and family back in South Africa telling them I was gay.

                      I was very scared but everyone said they didn't care if I was gay or not as long as I was happy.  :love:

                      I wondered why the Frisbee was getting bigger, and then it hit me!

                        Basically everyone that needs to know, knows it. My family, my friends… I don't exactly parade it around and tell every single person ever but if someone were to ask I'd of course be honest. So I guess I'm out to everyone

                          The people I'm close to all know. My general rule is that I don't bring it up unless it's relevant to the conversation, but I don't lie about it - so if someone asks why/when I'll get a girlfriend, I tell them, and if someone asks if I'm seeing anybody, I tell them. Really,, if someone asks and it's not in the context of, say, a bunch of skinheads about to punch my lights out, I'm going to answer truthfully.

                              I don't hide being gay, everybody knows. I left it to my sisters to tell their children themselves but that is more a thing of being lazy.  ;D

                                        My family and some friends. But if I could go back I wouldn't tell anyone.

                                            Do you mean something more than bi by using the term pansexual??

                                            😕
