      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.

                It's good that you don't lie about it!

                  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

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

                                😕

                                  Probably 70-80% of the people I know. I'm not closetted or anything, I just don't talk about it if it's never brought up.
