    well a few months ago I came out to one of my best friends that i have known for a long time. I knew that i had to choose who i could really trust with this and knew the consiquences of a negative reaction. But the real reason was that i liked him and he even kissed me once out of nowhere but never wanted to talk about it. anyway i told him i was gay and he told a friend of mine that i introduced him to. so the next day i got the most horrible looks and comments and found that she spread it around the whole school! so in the end i actually forgave him after he told me it was a big misunderstanding and also had to that i wasnt gay so he wouldnt do the same thing again as of now i really dont trust him and neither does my school after i told every one that this whole thing was a joke. But i was wondering if i am completely horrible for my actions (if i didnt lose your interest half way through:grin: ) :confused:

    Wait.... why would you be horrible for your actions? You didn't break anyone's trust, you didn't do anything wrong. Dude, you're not to blame for anything.

    The ending part is a little bit unclear to me. Did you say that you made him tell people that you actually aren't gay? Maybe I just didn't get something.

    I think that basically RH told everybody after that it was all some kind of joke and so his 'friend' really can't be trusted by anyone any more. Unfortunately people are like this though, as I found out last week. A little bit of gossip and people you have trusted with knowledge which can either make or break you can turn on you in a flash.

    Needless to say the person I came out to, the person who swore to me that it would go no further has passed it on and I won't be speaking to him again for a very long time. It's not the fact that he spread about my sexuality, it's that he broke my trust and if your friend has done the same then there's no reason for you to feel the slightest bit guilty, no matter what.

    well to be honest in my opinion it serves him right, for breaking your trust in the first place. Come on, if you're put on the spot you are gonna do everything in your power to wriggle out of it... and so what if people think he's gay now. There's worst things to be :wink:
