Topic: Are you in the closet?

Posted under Off Topic

Topic says it all. Are you? I personally am not. My friends and immediate family know, and I'm not afraid to talk about it online.

No. I'm lucky to live in one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world, with an incredibly supportive family. It also helps I wasn't the first gay guy in my family (that being my uncle.)
Many people don't pick up I'm gay on meeting me because I'm not particularly camp. If it's someone I become friends with and it hasn't just come up in normal conversation, at some point I'll go "This might not be super relevant, but I'm a huge homo. Just so it isn't a shock in like a year or something."

In regards to furry; yes. Absolutely no one has any need to know about that and I think it's a stupid thing to categorize yourself as anyway. Some of my irl friends know but...

Semi-closeted. Part of my family thinks I'm a gheyboi.
Would be more open about which way I swing if my closest family members weren't dumb/uneducated and/or religious dickwads.

sometimes, if I want to get a dress shirt or something else stored in there.

Ha!

Back on topic, I typically meant furry but you can discuss other closets if you wish.

+100

For me, no. Fam and peeps know who I am

No, I'm in my office

My family knows that I swing in whatever way suits my fancy, but no one knows in into furry stuff. Except for one ex.

Well, as for that, I haven't told anyone because I haven't figured it out yet. Honestly, I think I might be asexual towards everything but furry stuff. I've fallen pretty far…

I tend to overshare, particularly when dealing with sexual obscura, so I keep 'em guessing by being an equal-opportunity pervert.

No, I just don't care either way. Maybe I should talk more about my interests? I guess that could be fun. I don't think interests are that important (except you probably should have some), but topics of discussion, I can do with more of those.

I'm not, but I know some people who are so deep in the closet, they're finding Christmas presents.

Updated by anonymous

Nope! I rarely tell people my interests. Specially furry and other interests (pony included). I've hinted them, though.
My username is pretty searchable, so if they did that, they would know where I am. Maybe they have done it, but so far I haven't gotten any questions c:

Since it's a breeding ground for clothes hangers, there's no room anyways.

Indirectly I have told people I'm furry, they still think I'm just trolling, and they troll a friend who is more a brony than furry (I think he is, but if he truly is, he should be so deep in the furry closet that even I haven't found out)
Certainly I wouldn't like that people close to me knew that I'm bisexual AND furry.

As far as being gay, I guess I kind of still am in the closet. Working on it though. I only made the decision to start being honest with myself about it at the beginning of the year. Since then, I've only come out to one of my friends on Steam (as a test run), my grandma, and then my best friend. Telling other people is really just a matter of waiting for a good moment to do it. So far responses have been positive (the "worst" being a sort of neutral "Oh, okay. No big deal." from the Steam friend), so I'm thankful for that.

Talking about being a furry though? I'm not so keen on telling others. Don't really need to. I did tell that Steam friend as part of the test run, just to get a feel for things first (again, fairly neutral response). My grandma says I could do pretty much anything and she wouldn't think I was weird (or at least any more weird than I am) but then again, I know for a fact that her only idea of "what is a furry?" comes from that one episode of CSI or whichever crime show of the month that was. The one with the fursuiter orgy. You know the one.

Now if I knew someone else were a furry, or if they knew someone who was and was cool with it, then yeah, I'd probably tell them. But that's another story.

Answer for just about any topic regarding myself:

I'm in the closet to people that don't ask, I'm out to those that do.

(Translation: I generally don't volunteer information about myself, but if someone asks a question I'll answer with no qualms.)

But has had anybody actually asked you if you're a furry?

Can think of three off the top of my head. Probably a few others, but that's about it.

Yes I'm gay and no one being friend or family know does anyone know a way I can come out and tell them

Really? Judging by your avatar it's a bit hard to tell...
