I.

Suppose I were to come out tomorrow as gay.

I have amazing and wonderful friends, and I certainly wouldn\\u2019t expect them to hate me forever or tell me to burn in Hell or anything like that.

But even more than that, I think they would understand and accept the decision. There would be a lot of not-so-obvious failure modes they\\xa0could\\xa0fall into, but wouldn\\u2019t.

For example, I don\\u2019t think any of them would say something like \\u201cOh, obviously you just haven\\u2019t met the right woman. I know this really cute girl Alanna, a friend of my sister\\u2019s. I\\u2019ll introduce you next time she\\u2019s around.\\u201d

Or \\u201cYou must have just had a bad experience with women growing up. Maybe you always got into fights with your mother as a child. But there\\u2019s no reason to let that control you now.\\u201d
