Is it stupid to come out as gay in facebook?

[NONAME]

I want to know if it's stupid to come out on facebook. Like just posting 'I can't hide it anymore! I'm gay'. Is that a smart thing to do? I am still in high school and none of my family is on facebook so? I mean like i change my sex Preferance. What will happen if the word goes around school?

Pretty brave thing to do, but surely you should tell your family before you tell the world? If you tell Facebook word will get around immediately. That's how the world works these days...

Also there is a chance people will just think you've been hacked...

[Tertia Aurelie]

yeah, although your family is not on fb, coming clean from fb is not an option

People need to get a life! It's only a internet site

[Hot Chick]

If you are using facebook, it is pretty much understood that your are gay already

[The Tall Midget]

Gay?

What is this thing you Call Gay?

Btw Why the hell Would you wanna Be Gay?
i Know its Up to you But Why?

[StartingStarfire]

It IS stupid. What if some of the people you have friended on there are homophobic? They might threaten you or hate you.
If I were you, I'd tell a few close friends who you can trust and maybe your family.

Don't say your gay directly. No posts or anything like that. Just changed your 'interested in' from women to men. and delete the update so it doesn't show on their home wall. now that when they look at your profile they will see that you are gay and they will most likely ask if this is true. Just say very casually without getting nervous 'yeah i've been gay. for like ever. you didn't know? oh hey did you get that homework, etc, etc.
