There Are Still People Who Understand

When I was in my first year in college, I met a guy who lives up to how an average guy acts: likes girls, talks about sex all the time, and the likes. From being partners and groupmates in the class, over time we became friends. Even after the semester, we continued hanging out.

There was this habit of ours that everytime we’re chatting in Facebook, or hanging out in school, we would always talk about girls. He would link me to other girls and I will do the same to him. There was even this one time when we sat in a corridor and rated, from 1-10, all girls passing by based on how they look. Straight things.

But recently, as I discussed in the previous post, I already came out to some, he wasnt' included in it. Of all people, I thought he'd be the one I'll have difficulty in out-ing myself to. I assumed he thinks I'm straight because of what he's constantly getting me into.

So yesternight, he sent me a private message telling me that he noticed that my FB display pictures are always with a girl. Just like before, he said we're a couple. I denied and reasoned we were just orgmates. But then he continued teasing that it got to the point where I just got guilty of pretending to him something I am not, in fact the opposite.

With all hesitation and courage, I replied, “Since mas hindi nakakahiya dito sa chat, I just want you to know that I’m gay.”

Moments passed and I was anxious of how his reply would be. I already accepted possibilities, that he will stop messaging me, that he will be shocked and blame me for lying, etc. His replies were unexpected, but it made my day, even my week.
