So, I go to a small school. My SENIOR class has 76 people. There's one kid in my class ("J") who just "came out." He's really popular, so it's kind of a big deal.
The problem is that there's no other "out" people in my school. But, one of my sister's friends ("L") (and my friend, too) really comes across as gay. But, as far as he's told anyone, he's not gay.
So, J has been asking me about L. J says that he acted like that when he was L's age. I keep telling J that L has never said he was gay, and that's good enough for me. J is pressuring me to get L to come out, because L is "hot."
There's so many problems with that. For one, even if L is gay, he should NOT be with J. J is a senior, L is a freshman. J claims he doesn't drink or anything, but I know he hangs out with people who do, and L is completely innocent. Another thing is that I don't think it's right for me to pressure L. L is Baptist, and so that would really make it hard to come out. L is only a Freshman, and shouldn't have to think about sexuality yet. The most obvious is that L might really not be gay.
So, I'm right, right? L already knows that J is thinking about him, so I shouldn't have to do any more, right? I know if I were a freshman I wouldn't want to be pressured into coming out for some senior. Especially if I was straight. What do you guys think?

I completely agree. If "L" doesn't want to come out, then he shouldn't have to. I know I didn't want to at that time, in fact, I graduated three days ago and I only just came out (well, I came out to various other people, but not completely out to everyone). It's even harder when you get pressured into coming out, especially especially ESPECIALLY if you're christian.
J needs to back off until L feels ready to come out (that is assuming that he is in fact homosexually purely for this situation). It'd be one thing if he were 20 or 21 and L were a Senior, but a senior to a freshman is a little bit more intimidating.

Yea pressuring "L" wouldn't be a good idea i don't think. A few people I work with suspect I'm gay ( I havent came out yet) and they try to get me to admit it. It's a long process, finally coming to terms with it. Pressuring him is only going to make him feel more uncomfortable.

Tell J to die in a fire and to leave the straight walking L alone. Sickening.
