Coming out on facebook/myspace?

Yes do it! That's what I did. I've only told my 3 best friends.. all my other 300 hundred myspace friends will just have to find out on their own by looking at my myspace. :P

It saves you the awkwardness of telling people.

At first, the first couple people I officially told was a guy that came out to me that very day (I was like wow, this can't be happening). So I told him (oh yeah.. umm, me too).

About a week later, I posted a bulletin on myspace saying everything. I was like "that's right, I'm gay. I'll still be the same person I am though... so take it however you want." But I was still rather nervous about how to go about this whole thing.

First, I had the thing saying "orientation: straight" hidden because I felt like a phony and a liar with it out. It made me feel like I wasn't fully accepting myself for who I truly was. Then later, I put "confused... or I think it was "don't know" but I did know. I knew, and still know, I'm gay. But now... it says gay. No one has given me crap about it, so I guess they either don't have the balls to say things to my face, or are much more accepting than I thought. As much as I want to believe in the latter, the first guess is probably more true. Sadly.

The weird thing is that I gave at least 3 guys head before ever coming out to anyone!! I never officially "came out" that's why. It was more like an immature way of getting some sort of control in my own life. Stupid, ignorant me.

Well, I'm a lesbian... and my facebook said Interested in men before, and then I took it off. lol. Mine is just blank. If some people suspect something and you're not comfortable telling them, just say you took it off because you're not interested in dating right now.

I have had my myspace like that forever now. To me at least, you should do what ever makes you feel comfy. I am comfy about being gay, so I don't hide it. So I would still say if you are really comfy with the idea, why not go for it?

yeah i came out to a person on facebook before. he's a friend but not really, just somebody i know so it didn't really matter much. i kind of hoped he would tell other people at church. (which is where i know him from and i don't really attend anymore.)

he sent me a message asking if i was gay because of my status.

i just told him.

there are other people on my facebook who are much closer to me who might suspect because of my status updates but i haven't officially come out. my best friend who knows was on my account and changed my interested in thing to women. i could have gotten really mad at him but decided to just leave it, whoever sees it, sees it. then, you know those "pick your fave 5" things? i wanted to do one about "people over 30 who i want to phuck."but i figured that is a little too much coming out.

but yeah. i'd do it over your status updates. or post a few kinda gay updates to have people ask you about it.

I did that with my myspace and cleared the air a few years back. So just go on and do it then if someone confronts tell them and move on.

It's up to you. Personally, I don't put any of that personal stuff on my Facebook; I just leave it out entirely. If I'm going to be interested in someone, I'll let them know in person.

Why is acceptance so important that you have to tell anyone?

I am declaring to the world my heterosexuality every body come look look, I am heterosexual...that seem so silly to do....

Yeah, I did that. It's pretty good for coming out.

Well it is easier that way.

On my myspace I just have it blank, all to their own thoughts.
