Denial

By OutOfTheCloset - 02/06/2012 06:50 - United States - Clifton

Today, I came out of the closet. I came out on Facebook to spare myself awkward conversations and gossip. I wrote a deeply meaningful status about my partner and my pride in who I was. The only responses were, "Lol", "Hacked", and similar remarks. FML

Whats with people and against gays? Seriously. It just gives us guys a better chance of finding a girl :D But yeah, FYL

Should have done it in person. No possibility of hacking that way (or people saying lol hacked)

Same thing happened to me when I told my friends that I'm gay, except I texted them instead of putting it on Facebook. They thought someone stole my phone. xD Just confirm it to them in person, OP.

Holy crap people. When did FML turn into a damn support group? FYL indeed. Being gay is the worst. As for coming out on Facebook, did you really expect a different response? If so your not the smartest fag around.

How is being gay the worst? Give me a several legit and I will "convert" for you. Edit: Mods deleted a comment I was replying to so the reply went here... Can you delete this reply please?

Just post a comment saying your account wasn't hacked and let it be. Every person that responded will be like WTF, I was a loser for posting those comments. They will have to come to you because they were ignorant. Love yourself for who you are and your true friends and family will support you.

Yeah, but if you were indeed pulling a prank on a friend, wouldn't you say the same thing?

Wouldn't some of them already suspect you're gay? Whenever one of my friends came out to me, deep down I already knew. Your friends are stupid, OP. Just tell them in person if it means that much to you.

I agree. When my friend came out, most people were like, "no shit." Little signs, and comments made the connection obvious; it's difficult to hide your attraction and interests to others, sometimes, whether you are straight or gay. If my friend had come out on Facebook, I am certain that most people would have taken it seriously. Although it is possible that OP's inclination was deeply hidden! Maybe OP is a very private person.

mhopper, maybe its just you. what I mean is, it seems to me that "numerous" of your friends came out to you; so maybe just maybe these friends of yours aren't actually gay and its just that they don't want to go on dates with you so they claim gayness in order to not hurt your feelings

That was uncalled for, you just had to assume to commentor was undesirable and frequently rejected?

Due to rampant homophobia and/or immaturity, a large number of "joke" posts made on accounts that have been left logged in do state that the person in question is gay, though not usually in a long and meaningful way. Conversely, when my openly gay friend left his account in, his friends posted that he was straight and uploaded a bunch of pictures of scantily clad women, so it works both ways...

Ignore the comments and get on with your life! Don't let them kill your momentum!

I'd detach myself from people like that, if I were you. FYL, and I hope you find better "friends" than them.

As long as your happy with who you are and your family accepts you who cares what others think

I'm facing something like this myself (on a different issue), but I would probably get similar responses on FB and texting. Unfortunately, OP may be like me and can't do it in person. My friends are all over the world.
