[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.

It is a little odd, OP. My son is openly gay. When he came out he was 16 and we were living in a very conservative, small town in Alabama. Most people were supportive. He lost no friends.  I think you simply needed better friends. Even in the deep South, most high schoolers are very tolerant. [/quote]
