Great observation.

how come noone says anything when I admitted I was straight. equality ppl!!

Gay is the new norm. It's not even cool to come out as gay anymore. The real edgy people are coming out as ebola victims.

Why is 52 getting downvoted? It's true, in the sense that straight people don't have to worry about getting rejected by friends and family because of their sexuality

because #39 was being sarcastic.

thank you for your insight..

Just because you like both genders and you're telling your friends this, doesn't mean you're hitting on them. Genuinely one of the worst things about telling someone that you're bi, they assume that you're attracted to them and are hitting on them. Please, don't flatter yourselves.

#52 people are rejected by others for infinite number of unfair reasons. The social norm is not heterosexuality anymore. Publicly making your sexuality a big deal to others is the opposite of having people accept who you are- and focusing on accepting one part about you. That is the same as saying your sexuality is what defines you. While coming out to yourself can be a milestone in development, the relevance to being accepted by others, in a public way, is purely for personal gain. He sent a text, extremely impersonal, to his friends all at once- not talking to them individually. Most people in this generation do not care- which is a passive acceptance of all sexuality as normal.

Ya your right I'm sure the people who come out to their family's and get kicked out of rejected by their friends don't think it's "cool". You have no idea what those people have to deal with of how ******* scary it is to come out, so **** off

why the hell does this have so many negative votes? it's true, and it's what I and many others are fighting against.

#4, That's kind of what I was thinking. I'm today's times, I doubt anyone really cares. One of my closest friends came out gay last year because her sister let it slip. She was terrified it would be a big ordeal, but her parents just kind of said, "that's great, we still love you just as much." This situation was probably similar.

Actually, it seems to me like they simply just don't give a damn either way. Either that or they already had their reasons to suspect.

*who

This is actually probably one of the best things that could've happened in this situation. It means that OP's friends are cool with it and it changes nothing about their current relationship.

Who has been responsible for the recruitment of Grammar Nazis lately? Seems like their quality is dropping.

This. If they would have gushed out stuff like "OMG, really, are you sure, I can't believe it!" and THEN fallen silent, that would have been bad. This non-response probably just means that they aren't rattled by it.

Not rattled and/or didn't want to be the first one to respond if someone had texted this as a "prank."

Sometimes it's "who!" - Monica from F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Agreed. Especially in a group message it's difficult to be the first one to reply.

It's just unnecessarily awkward in a group. Definitely not a solid play. Furthermore I hate group messaging because then you get ALL the messages, even if you only know 2-3 people on the list.

or, they didn't reply because they already new n it wasnt reply worthy?

Haha way to slip the pun in there.

Perhaps they didn't reply because just don't think it's a big deal? Which is actually really good thing, since it means it doesn't phase them and they're completely cool with it.

... your friend Cas, by any chance? ;)

He's my angel

I had a friend who came out as bi to me, when almost no one else knew. He was so shaken up about what he had to say that I thought he was going to say he was suicidal. I was relieved when he finally told me. His other friends and family know now, and he seems less anxious in general. I'm glad for him.

Well said.

Pandas unite!

Where did you pull that from?

What does it even mean, with that terrible syntax? Is Yoda on meth?

His corn shoot.
