meaning... i dont like coming-out bc i think its what straight people have guilted other people into doing so that they can differentiate between the faggots and the god fearing christians.

Do you have any evidential basis for this claim?

...Really? I came out because I wanted to. I can't speak for anyone else, but I would like to think that for most people it's a choice. Besides...I personally find most religious people to be sheep. Their opinions hold no weight; regardless of their numbers.

Lawd, you would think that by now people have realized that we are not all the same religion.

i never really came out, but i never considered myself in the closet to begin with. about half my family is super religious and the other side couldn't give a shit. to be honest, if family/friends would cut all ties with ya just for being anything (gay, republican/democrat, atheist, etc.) then i wouldn't really consider it a loss on your part.

then again, the side that's religious in my family lives on the other side of the country so it may have been easier for me i guess.

when you get out of highschool and you start examing the actual societal machinations at play, you will experience first hand the evidential basis of my claim. everyone wants to label everything... and when you try to evade these labels, people cantfathom why that is.
(for the purpose of brevity/clarity, ill use the word gay.. even if i dont believe in labels. )

being that i've already stated that this was my opinion on the subject of coming-out, ill share my evidential basis. ive known that i find men sexually attractive since the dawn of my pubescent transformation. despite this, i really didnt see myself as gay. in fact, i didnt know what gay was until early middle school. (thanks mom)
as i grew up and blazed my way through public school, i was set on continuing to live my life as straight as possible. then college happened. after learning that i was fully capable of fucking men, i was like "yep, im gay". now, most of my friends picked up my being gay upon meeting me, but for two whole years i continued to screw around with guys and never go any further than drunken making out with gals. one drunken night i sort of got outed. i really didnt think anything of it... until the next day when i had people giving me shit for not "letting them know". i was basically like... why did i have to? the general theme was that people took my non disclosure as me being closeted and self conscious of my sexuality. long story short (lol), when people didnt have a clear definition of my sexuality, they were so offended by my not defining it. to this day i dont consider myself gay.. just as i dont consider anyone straight or bi or whatever. i know its obnoxious, but i think its a sure take on the path of reducing the barriers people set up by labeling.

again.. my opinion.
