I think that most people do, yes. I certainly did. I felt like it was fine being sure in my head that I was gay, but the moment I told people,...
Welcome to EC! Hello. It sounds like this was a joint 'coming out to him and telling him you like him' moment... just coming out isn't an easy...
Yeah, I'd date a camp guy. I'm dating one now, in fact, and have been for some time!
I saw this headline and I couldn't help but laugh, even though it's also sad because innocent bystanders got hurt. Lawmaker who thinks gays a...
I think it sounds fairly promising. If he's willing to play potentially flirty games and say things like he's said, even if he isn't gay he would...
Hi! I don't think that 14 is too young to know who you are and who you like, or necessarily too young to come out and tell other people. As one...
It is really reassuring to hear from a parent like you! I've got a couple of thoughts: Yes, some people knew they were gay at a very young...

Don't worry! I had the same response from quite a few of my friends. Several people replied, "Oh! Really? Um... really?" One girl was really...
Well, I have no gay relatives (that I know of, and I suspect that means I don't have any), but I did have a similar situation vis-a-vis my parents...
