[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he's not telling you because of the way you grew up, would you 1000% accept him if he was? Does he know that you're fine with it? Like have you discussed it politically or mention gay friends you have etc? If he is and he's going to tell you he needs to know he is completely safe in telling you. [/quote]

Op here. We were brought up religious so there's that.

I would 100000% accept him and it wouldn't change anything. It's not a huge deal just would connect some dots, I guess I'll continue minding my business or make more of a safe space in the future if he wanted to share. Thanks![/quote]

New pp here.

I would mention that you support LGBT rights and that you hate what's happening with Don't Say Gay and other anti-queer legislation in red states.

Do not ask him if he's gay. Despite what other people are suggesting here, it's really rude to do that and if he isn't ready to come out of the closet, he'll just lie to you anyway. Coming out is something personal that we all do in our own time when we are ready. It's our story to tell and being dragged out of the closet by straight people because they're curious is not a pleasant thing to have happen. As someone that was raised in a very religious family, I allowed fears of the loss of my family to prevent me from coming out for years. When I did finally come out, those fears all materialized and I lost one entire side of my family. He could be closeted gay or trans but the best you can do is to make it clear that you accept queer people so that he will know that you'll be there if he's gay and comes out.[/quote]
