My best friend came out about a week ago heehee.
...But I still found it unbelievable when he told me.(even though deep down I kinda knew like how does that work)
I mean I've never been homophobic or against gay marriage (QUITE THE OPPOSITE), but it was just weird to finally have him admit it.. I've always assumed he was gay.. but he'd just denied it for so long that I just banished the thought from my mind in a mystical sort of way... Also, I've never had a gay friend before. I've always imagined being friends with gay or lesbian people the same as being friends with different races of people.
It was strange when he told me, it was like when you have a visualisation of what a place you have never visited before will look like and then when you get there and you actually see it for real, you see that it was different in some ways to how you imagined it, but similar in other ways..
Hmm I guess this blog is just about my experience with him so far ever since he came out. (I'm not trying to alienate him, it's just a new experience for me and it's interesting hehe)
How he told me
ok let me set the scene.
It was fucking boiling outside and it was my last lesson on a wednesday afternoon. (also I did not wish to be there for mathematical reasons). There was this massive sweat puddle that was defying gravity and was on my face because that kind of stuff just happens to me all the time and it was really annoying. Anyway, I don't normally sit next to him but on that day for some reason he was next to me (just condensed next to me like 'poof') yeah who cares he was next to me. I was casually misunderstanding everything in maths as I always do, when he suddenly whispered to me. (he whispers really fucking loudly)
"EVE"
"what"
"I'm gay."
I was just like:
(°∀°)
..I was just literally smiling awkwardly for the rest of the lesson like I didn't know what else to do.
He decided he wasn't convinced that I believed him so he showed me his phone as he scrolled through his iBooks collection of
NONE OTHER THAN GAY PORNOS IN THE FORM OF LITERATURE.
(as he was getting them out I was like 'ohh no hehhhee I believe you there's no need for this heehhhheee')
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME THERE WOULD STILL BE NO NEED FOR ME TO SEE THAT IF YOU WERE A STRAIGHT BOY
ungrhhh I guess he must have been bursting with things to talk about because I was one of the first people he told but he'd never mentioned anything to do with sexuality before and it just shocked me and creeped me out.
..and then he started talking abut this history teacher (kinda fit) called Mr Castle (HOW IRONIC IS THAT THOUGH HAHAHA) and asked me if I'd noticed him frequently staring at his arse.
...
...
...
It was just so weird for me at the time. It was like his personality just clicked like that in an instant and I was finally seeing my friend for who he really is. (I'm totally used to it now though hehehehe)
OH YEAH AND ANOTHER AWKWARD THING HE SAID TO ME THAT LESSON WAS:
"AT LEAST YOU KNOW I'M NOT TRYING TO GET INTO YOUR PANTS"
ok.
There are two things that are wrong with that sentence.
- "get into your pants"
- the fact that he used the wording: "pants"
Where the fuck has he even heard that ultra creepy phrase? Ew omg probably his porno literature.
Pants. Aren't those men's trousers? (in the UK) Is he trying to make me a lesbian or something.
..Unless he's referring to the american wording for: 'underwear'
uchh ew. why boy why.
Not to mention he asked how my "love life" is going. Was he trying to have 'girl talk' with me? I don't have girl talk with the girls I know let alone boys.
lol I don't have a love life.
..Yeah so that was basically how it went when he told me. Surprisingly he said he hadn't told his parents about it, but I reassured him that his mother probably already knows and that she'll love him no matter what. (His mother had already asked him before if he was gay)
He was worried about how his dad would react though.
Today, he told us that he told his parents and they didn't react as badly as he thought they would (ie. his dad). (ps that's a lesson for all of you wonderful people who have yet to come out as they call it. please talk to me if you have any concerns ily bbes)
I just feel really proud of him for finally telling people about it. It must take a lot of courage to do that in a world where homophobia still exists. I guess that's why I smiled so awkwardly when he told me. It was also weird on the bus on the way home. I couldn't stop thinking of all the times I thought he seemed to be acting 'camp' when he really was just being gay - which he is. (not that all gay people act like that.)
Being friends with him is also actually even funnier now that I know he's gay.
It's like he can be himself more in front of us. Plus it's also hilarious how other people don't know yet hahahahaha.
Like boys.
Our whole year group is taking part in this thing called: "Skills Week" which is basically where we work on the computer in one of the ICT suites (ours stinks like egg farts and makes me want to kill myself) and I sit next to my newly found gay best friend and my other bessie (who happens to be le female).
Anygay, Gay bessie sits next to another male friend of ours who is oblivious to the fact that the person he is sitting to is in fact gay. Female bessie and I laughed like hyenas on crack for only about the whole day because gay bessie and male mate were having a lot of bodily contact (they were having a fucking cat fight at one point) and gay bessie was clearly practicing his flirting techniques.
Here are some of the phrases I picked up from their conversations:
- "Shhhhhhh..." *sensually
- "Oh stop it, you"
- "You know you love it"
Now it's not like he's a different person. We still make fun of each other. (I can now embrace his 'queen' into my skill-ful 'making fun of') I've always made fun of him and he's always made fun of me. It shows what great mates we are. It shows what a mega cool bond we have. We're at that level in friendship that we can be bitches to each other and still take it as a joke because we don't take ourselves too seriously and know that we're only joking around like gay camels in antarctica.
Like today, he showed me this man perfume he had for christmas (I believe some people call it cologne). Now don't get me wrong, I like the smell of man perfume, but I don't love it.
Basically what I'm getting at is he sprayed it on my face and I didn't want it on my face and it burned my eyes.
But at least I smelled nice for the rest of the day and that weird egg smell wasn't as painful to endure today because the man perfume was all I could smell really.
Also, if I ever decide to persue shopping as a regular hobby, then I could use him as a fashion accessory. (The Gay Best Friend I believe they call it)
Now don't try and see this as an insult because you can't deny that the sound of having a gay best friend is ultra cool and the fact is many fashion people have one. Anyway, I would see being referred to as a fashion item a compliment. It's not like I'm only friends with him because of this new discovery, as I didn't know when I met him. I just see it as a valuable bonus.
omg I could be Paris Hilton I just need a Chihuahua and money hahaha

ANYWAY
So far (and forever and ever amen) having a gay best friend is totally fun and it still makes no difference to me at all whether he's gay, straight, a-sexual..
He's still the same person, I'm still the same person. He's just finally being his true self now and I'm really happy for him.
I am a bit worried about other people in my school will think because a lot of them are fucking hateful, but I know that I am going to support him through all of this and so are the rest of his friends.
There's absolutely no reason why anyone should even consider thinking they have the right to pick on anyone who's different because they don't fucking deserve it and I think everyone should have respect for people that show so much courage at (often) really early stages in their lives. He was honest and brave enough to come out and I'm sure there are many others who have yet to do so and some who don't have to admit to anything. They can do it in their own time (or not) because their lives are nothing to do with me and it's none of my business. Just like my friend's sexuality has nothing to do with their lives.
He's still the same person and he's still a great friend and I love him for it. If anything, I think him 'coming out' has strengthened our friendship and made me see him as an even more admirable person. I'm so, so proud of him.
The even better times are yet to come.
"No hate, just love."
ps: we're gonna watch a movie tomorrow to celebrate teehee (WORLD WAR Z so we'll probably fan girl over Brad Pitt together lmao)
