A male United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Dear Cupid,

I really hate that I'm gay, but I want to come out and let everyone know. I'm really scared of how people are going to react because most of the people in this town are pretty homophobic/stereotype about gay people.

I've never told anyone and i want to badly... but i need some help with this.

Please never be ashamed of your sexuality!! Be proud. YOu do not have to annouce yourself yet - but maybe when you get a bit older , you can leave town, and move to a city where people are more broadminded. I really wish you the best of luck. xxx all will be ok.. don;t worry, you'l work through this. x

I take sexuality questions seriously because nobody should be ashamed of it. In today's world people are cruel to other people about the littliest things, but I think that sexuality has always been stereotyped against, and it shouldnt. I feel that when people find out that someone is gay they think that is all they are: gay, and its not. Of course not all people will react this way. Dont feel bad about being gay. I aggree with you when you say that you want to tell someone. You need to. Tell whoever you trust the most. Then just tell them. Let it out. Hopefully, they will support you, which is what you need. Dont be afraid. Dont be afraid to be who you are. There are many closeted gays who feel like they dont have anybody, nobody should feel that way. If you tell someone you wont feel alone if you get support, you can help other people as well. Just know that you should not hate yourself because of your sexuality, dont let anybody label you, because a person is'nt justified just by their sexuality. I support you and wish you the very best of luck. :]

Hey my best mate came out gay over a month ago. I was the first one he told and I helped him and backed him up when he came out to the world :) I think the best thing is is to find someone you trust talk to them about it and then in your own time and your ready tell other people.

Yes my mate got alot to comments from people but I was there to just push them back and say it's not their life to lead and that they do not have a say in what you do with your life.

So just find someone who you trust tell them then you have them as your safety net to back you up :) hope this helps good luck x
