I told one of my best friends in confidence that I was in fact gay. he was cool with it and we're still total bros.
Here's the thing.
He told other people.
Without telling me.
That is not right.
When someone tells you something in confidence, ESPECIALLY their sexuality, you do not tell ANYONE without their permission. It doesn't matter if you think the person will be a-okay with it. It's none of their business, they told you, not them, and if they wanted others to know they would have told them.
My friend told some other people. While, I never said he couldn't it should have been obvious I didn't want people to know when I was even struggling to tell him! Now these people, who some of them I rarely even TALK to know my sexuality. They now act as if I am some sort of plague, and must be avoided or else... I dunno I'll try to have sex with them? Doesn't help that it seems like they're spreading it around.
I am extremely angry with my "friend" and have been avoiding him for a while. I don't think he foresaw how much this would hurt me, and he didn't seem to know he wasn't allowed tell anyone else but... Still.
