    Lol ok, I came out to my Uncle almost 2 years ago now (wow.) via a random Facebook message because I just kind of... felt like it.

    Just did that for 2 of my new suite mates (starting college in a week!) and they were totally cool!

    I e-mailed my actual ROOMmate since she's not on Facebook, so hopefully the response is similar!

    Congrats! :slight_smile: It's always awesome when people are just accepting & wonderful when you come out to them! Plus, it makes making new friendships so much easier when you don't have to worry about how people might respond!

    congrats buddy!!! Hopefully the rest you have to still come out to will be just as accepting as the people you've already come out to. At least this gives you more courage to do so

    Congratulations! I've sometimes come out to people via facebook as well, and it's always turned out to be good. :slight_smile: I hope the answer from your roommate will be good as well! Although I don't see why it wouldn't be.

    Congrats that's great! I am thinking about coming out to my room mate too. Hmmm. Would you mind posting your message, like what you said to them in order to come out? Just so that I can see an example of what I could say to my room mate to hopefully get a similar response. :slight_smile:

    "That's ok. Thanks for letting me know. I havn't met a lot of gay people, but hopefully we can get along.:slight_smile:"

    Not too bad! At least she has a positive outlook :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Woo!

    Well as she said, she hasn't met many gay people, so she's not quite sure what it means. :slight_smile: But at least now she knows and I'm sure it will be fine when you meet and get to know each other! :slight_smile:
