    I liked someone pictures on Facebook that were a little suggestive. I forgot that what you like shows up on others time line.

    I got one call from a friend that knows I'm Out. I know others saw it. I posted that I was having issues with Facebook. A lie.

    Just nervous about this. It's just another stupid thing I've done in my life.

    Just go with what you are doing. If you are willing to come out now though I would use this to your benefit, now if people where to ask if you are gay you would just have to say yes instead of going to tell them.

    Since this post I Came Out on Facebook and I have been overwhelmed by the love and support I have received.

    Dozens of comments, text messages, Facebook messages, phone calls.

    I just can't believe how wonderful my family and friends are.

    One of the best things I ever did was to come out on Facebook. Good for you.

    Hahaha happened to me I liked a picture, and it showed for some of my friends in facebook, and one of them texted a girl that know I am gay, and asked her if I was, and she instantly called me, and told her to cover for me, and thank god she did, it worked out, no one realised and I disliked the picture hahaha XD, I was just not ready. good thing not many saw it, and only that one guy asked >.<

    That's the one thing that annoys me about FB. I don't want others to see my likes nor do I want to see theirs. Huge privacy issue. Glad it didn't have a terrible outcome though.

    Facebook can be a great way to tell people of that's something you want to do. At first, I completely forgot that people I was friends with could see what I liked, but when people started hinting to me (asking vague questions and the like), I began using Facebook as a way to see their reactions in general and started actually sharing stuff. Still took me about a year to actually come out on there, though. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
