    'Oh phoebe you're so gay!'
    I don't care, it doesn't matter if someone's gay'
    'So you are gay?'
    '...' 'Are you gay?'

    No one cares because you're gay
    No one cares because you're English
    No one cares because you're a midget
    No one cares...
    It's all I get
    That is all they talk about

    'Hey England'
    'Hey gay bum'
    'Oi midget'

    They are my friends I don't really care I don't find it offensive

    My best friend the ONLY ONE who didn't call my this asked me the other day
    'Phoebe are you actually gay?'

    I was going to come out next year and then the following year to my parent
    I had a PLAN

    Then I realised: it is hard. My heart froze. I froze. I nearly managed to stutter my no either know I was. I just am not ready.

    What should I do?

    Maybe if you trust your friend to keep it a secret, you could tell him/her. You are in a tricky situation and he/she may already know because of your reaction, so hopefully my suggestion helps

    Even if you had a plan to come out, sometimes you just have to adjust to whatever obsticle comes your way. I agree with DX1118C, when he says that your friend may all ready know based on your reaction. This is a tough situation to be in so stay strong.

    Perhaps it would be easier to tell your best friend over text. I know it took me a very long time to allow those words to come out of my own mouth.
