i'm out on fbook, and thus new friends i add will be able to find out if they look it up, but originally, when I came out on fbook, the people on there were the ones i trusted already, and most of them already knew i'm gay.
thanks...turns out, the place you're at is not the only factor - if you've got issues in your head, even in manchester you can go three years without meeting any lgbt people...i only started going to the uni lgbt events last may.
got an lgbt pub crawl tonight that i'm looking forwards to now! woohoo!!
