Category: Coming Out Stories

I have this friend named Jacob. He lived with me a while back when his parents kicked him out of his house, and I realized then that I was in love with him. We consider each other brothers, and share everything. that is... i haven't told him that i'm gay and that I'm in love with him.
I drop hints, and I sometimes feel like he responds, but he's a conservative christian, and so is his entire family, so i'm afraid that he'll respond badly. I don't think he will, but still... I'm in the closet, only one person besides myself knows that I'm gay, and I sorta let that one slip (now we're friends with benefits, couldn't believe my luck on that one. he's straight tho, or at least bi).

so, anyways, I'm coming out to my brother and best friend, and telling him that i'm in love with him. Any tips?
