Totally Lost

Well, we had another storm here today so we teachers got a snow day. I decided to use this opportunity to tell my neighbour/friend that I'm gay. I did it via text then popped over next door to have a chat. She was completely fine with it (of course) and had assumed I might be. Her boyfriend apparently said "You are two good looking people who spend a lot of time together. If you haven't had sex by now, one of you is gay." So, after talking about it for a while we went back to watching the olympics. It's kind of nice how after the initial nervousness goes away, things feel completely back to normal. I didn't even need booze to tell someone this time!

 

Hey Aquaman,

Fleeing the country DOES seem a little extreme now but I'm still uncomfortable with people at work finding out. However, I'm pretty sure that if I continue the course I'm on, it will happen eventually.

I have to say, I have chosen my friends well. They are all liberal-minded. I would be shocked if any of my close friends had a problem with it because I've known their views on gay people for years.

Generally, if you are educated here and have a problem with gay people, others will look down on you. 51% of the population of Canada have some form of tertiary education. Most of my friends are highly educated so I guess this bodes well for me.
