I have told my best friend... he didn't like it! We argued and he stopped talking to me, he never told anyone. It's been seven or eight months since and I have never been approached or treated differently by anyone in our small community.
I had thought that since we told each other our deepest darkest secrets, that it wasn't gonna be a big issue, he had told me some deeply personal things one night and I assumed that he was going to be just as understanding as I was to him. But he couldn't handle it and I lost someone that was practically a brother to me.
It's kind of the reason that I came to this site, I am lonely and in need of new friends that I can be me with.
