When I came out, it wasn’t what I’d been expecting. Some mates were sitting around me and asked me if I had a girlfriend or not, so I answered truthfully and said that there was someone I liked. I dragged one of my friends away from the rest, went to a quiet place and thought about how I was going to approach it. He was always going on about cats, and how he loved them so much, so I simply said to him, “You know you like cats, well, I don’t share your interest in pussy… I’m gay.” He was really supportive, and nearly collapsed from laughter. I’ve never been happier since.
