Having just entered the comp to win tickets to anthony menchetti!

I thought it would fun to share some funny stories on coming out... this might be of use to those still coming out... knowing that there will be funny reactions, and the ability to laugh at them later is golden.

So my entry was:

Showing GFs scratches on my chest, their response: “You’re Gay those couldn’t have been made by a girl. That person was behind you!”

These were actually work colleauges...

Enter the comp and share your story here... I have many more!

I'd just moved to Sydney and not yet out to my family. My sister came to visit and we went for dinner on King St in Newtown. They wanted another drink, so went into the first pub we came too, just so happened to be the Newtown Hotel, the gayest pub ever! I didn't know before walking in that it was a gay pub, but knew about 2 seconds after... the French Rugby team photo shoot DVD was playing... every where you looked there were naked rugby players!

After we left and we'd parted ways, my sister was about 50 metres (we're grew up on a farm, public decorum is not something we know well) away when she shouted out "it's ok you can tell us"...

Anyway when I finally did tell her, the reaction was this emphatic "i knew it!!!" She actually stood out of her chair, it was like she'd just discovered the missing link or something! I think she now tells the above story quite regularly to her friends! She thinks it was hilarious... I'm still a little embarassed, way to stay in the closet Andrew!

Another good one was when I had gone into Colombian with two friends, one who knew and one who didn't (we went up the back stairs so wasn't initially obvious to my friend). Anyway not long after this I turned to my friend and said "by the way, I'm gay", I then got up and within a minute or so was pashing this random on the dance floor! More hilarity ensued later as I ditched them (by closing the taxi door on them) and stayed out for some more fun. They then had to let me back into my place the next morning, as they were both staying with me...

There has to be some other funny stories out there!
