I didn't come out publicly until college, but I came out to some close friends in high school.
I was something of a social chameleon, and that was essentially the way I liked it. I had friends though, and I talked to people. As far as crushes go, I didn't really have any. Many of the boys acted too stupid for me to really consider. :P
Yes, I came out to friends in high school. Teased my best friend's father who tried to explain to me how women run the house and that I was destined for a station wagon. He said I would 'learn' and we all laughed cause he didn't know I was gay.
Had lots of sex with guys but you didn't label it (just did it and had fun). Some guys took a pass at sex while others gave it a try. Lots of fun and no retribution. I was in the smart class so the teasing was kept to a minimum. Grew up in Maryland in the late 80's.
I came out when I was like 16ish or so. Most of my friends knew anyways. I was always a little light on my feet so to speak. I went to high school with so many people that I don't necessarily think it was a big deal. I have heard of others getting teased for being a homo- but nobody ever gave me any trouble or said anything. I am sure they did behind my back... but hunny I am gay I talk about everyone behind their backs ;)
I went to School in England and didn't come out at all, never dated and never really had any experiances with other lads.. although I did have so many crushes and close calls (I was an unlucky child!) So through my teen years I was pretty misrable, seeing all my friends having relationships I honestly thought life sucked!
Anyway, wasn't really until college did things turn for the better, and now I am in a steady relationship... if I could do it again I would of come out during school.. not for relationships or anythingl ike that.. just because I look back and think of those wasted years where I was unhappy and couldn't be myself.
