Do I have the balls?

[Kire]

The official Saints Row party is tomorrow, and "me and a significant other" are invited. I kinda want to bring my boyfriend but I don't know if I have the balls to do it. I don't have any good gauge of what would be the reaction...I mean, put it this way...when I told my mom I signed Xeno up for vision coverage insurance, she freaked and wanted to make sure that NO ONE KNEW about me being gay because you don't know who would tell whom what and someone might try to kill me or something.

I don't know. What do you guys think?

You should be proud of it. Thats my opinion atleast. People should like you for who you are.

If you're hemming and hawing over it, you obviously don't.

BE A MAN, KIRE

Nobody that you worked with knows that you're gay?

He's the Zangief of the game-developing community.

Re: Do I have the balls?

I say you should be proud of who you are!

And if anyone says anything, sue them for sexual harasment

By the way, who do you work for Kire?

Well, there's 3 possibilities.

1) Nobody thinks anything of it and you have a good time.
2) Some person/people has an issue with it but keeps their mouth shut and you have a good time.
3) Some person/people mistreat you or say something inappropriate and you report them to your superiors. They get in trouble and you have a good time.

Poeple still get shocked that other poeple are gay? Where I live, every other person is either gay or bi. I think bringing your boyfriend shouldn't be an issue, and issues will come up if you don't bring him. Thats just what I think anyways.

You know...some of us live in like, Texas.

Either that or red states.

Mothers hate gay people. At least alot of 'em do. Or at least yours does. just kidding.

Well, Illinois isnt California, and reactions may be a bit different, but if it specifically states "significant other", then they shouldnt say anything. But if you arent out at work, i dont think that would be the best way to come out. It might have alot of shock value, but i dont think it would go over well with coworkers and superiors.

Might want to speak with someone you trust at work, that you can talk to that might be able to help you gauge the reactions of people.

Edit: Basically my opinion is to be cautious, but do it if you dont think it will cause too much of an uproar.

You should have just been like "Hi, I'm Erik, and I'm gay." when you first got hired and then you wouldnt be in this awkward position now.

What if you come out and everyone is like, "Yeah dude, we know. I mean come on".

Hmm?

Which is pretty much how it happens most of the time, at least from what I've heard.
