First came out back in February to a friend I'd met online about 3 and a half years ago. He'd helped me through a difficult stage in my life when I was a teen, we met randomly and I was trying to find my identity basically, where I came from, why I never saw my dad (although my mum had told me bits I wanted to know everything for myself) and wanted to be able to appreciate who I was. He helped me in doing that ever since and so it was a no-brainer to tell him first. He was more than alright with it and from there on I couldn't care who else I told, as long as he was there for me I was convinced I was fine.
I didn't go actively telling people unless I needed to. My mates asked the question themselves after I put it on my MySpace (just to see if anyone read it

) and I answered yes lol, THE SHOCK

With my mum I just told her the guy I'd gone to the cinema with was my boyfriend, I'm gay lol and she just stood there for 2 minutes with nothing to say. She's cool with it now though, I've even told her about what anal sex is like haha. Other friends found out in similar ways, I don't go on about it unless it comes up in conversation.
