[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im 17 and graduating this year

I've known I was gay since I knew what gay meant (I was 8)

I asked a boy out during my junior year and was outed, lost almost all of his friends

none of my family know [/quote]

I don’t by that a boy lost his friends because he was asked out by another boy. That is in no way consistent with what I know about teens today. If anything, they tend to be overly performative in demonstrating tolerance and acceptance of gay kids.[/quote]OP here again, I’d like to think I know more about my own generation, considering these are the people I interact with for 7 hours a day at school and my job and at camps and sports than an adult.

I have two teens and coach two teams and am a youth leader at church. So I know you would like to think something, but we all have our perspectives. I am sorry you experienced this but it still doesn’t track that another boy would be ostracized because you asked him out. How would they know? Why would that result in ostracism?[/quote]
I was in the closet. My friends were all straight guys. I asked him out through a text and even though I asked him to keep it between us, him and his friends took screenshots and shared it around the school, leading to me being out.

You can have two teens and be around youths in church but understand that people are supposed to be nice at church. Nobody is going outwardly say anything that isn't not PC nowadays but that doesn't represent their true feelings.

I'm telling YOU, once I was outed, my friends started acting strange around me before eventually removing me from their group chat and shutting me out. I was never harassed or attacked, but I was alienated from mostly straight guys. Girls and other guys didn't care very much, though. [/quote]
