One day in a science lesson he said to me curiously 'Are you gay?'. I replied 'Yes'. His first reaction was of disbelief - I had said things like this in the past and then said I was just joking and I think he thought this was just one of those times. He began asking me questions like 'How long have you been gay?' but I was still kind of in shock that i'd told him and i wasn't really prepared to answer his questions just then - I felt awkward.
A bit later in the school yard it became obvious that he wasn't convinced. I said, 'why would i lie? How would it benefit me to have you think I'm gay?' Finally he believed me. HE took it well. He's obviously as good a friend as i thought he was .
Finally I want to say good luck to everyone else in coming out. It can help.
