I'm a senior in a private boys school. We have grade 7-12 and I will graduate in a few months. I'm also gay. I never told anyone until last week. The school's headmaster and faculty are not exactly gay friendly. They are not especially homophobic either, it's just that they don't encourage gay boys to come out. Very few boys that I knew of are out. I didn't come out. I was accidently outed. A friend of mine, Mike, the only guy I told who is straight, accidently let it slip in English class and that was it. Everybody knew.

I was mortified and stayed in my dorm room for three straight days (pardon the unintended pun). What I didn't know was that while I was hiding in my room the headmaster decided to hold an assembly and the topic was sensitivity towards others whose sexual orientation might be different. I wasn't there so I didn't know about it. Now prior to this I had told me friend about several boys I wish were gay who I had the hots for. Well word spread about a lot of things. The floodgate of secrets had opened and my friend (whom I was regarding as an ex-friend at that point) just could not keep his mouth shut. What I didn't know was that during my self imposed absence from all school activities including classes and cafeteria(I could have been kicked out of school for this but they didn't) was that the headmaster had organized an assembly and asked all boys who wanted to show support to wear something pink. Without his knowledge my friend had organized a secret demonstration to take place at that assembly.

The headmaster came to my dorm room and personally invited me to attend the assembly and that I should not be embarrassed that there were a lot of gay students and I was not alone.

So with my friend practically towing me there I went to the assembly. He guided me to the front seat as the entire school stood and clapped. Almost all of them were wearing something pink. I sat down and the headmaster made a speech about sensitivity and inclusion and tolerance. When he was done he asked my friend, who was also my dorm mate to come up to the podium. My friend gave his own little speech about tolerance and then asked all who wanted to, to get up and file past me and make me feel welcome. Our school has about 700 students all boys. Most of them got up and filed past me. Some patted me on the shoulder. Some shook my hand. Most said something nice. Thirty four of them kissed me, seven of them full on kissed me on the mouth and slipped me some tongue including my "straight" friend and two of the boys whom I had told my friend I had crushed on.

So we had a dance this past weekend and usually the dances include girls from two nearby girl's schools. This occasion was no different. What was different was for the first time gay boys were encouraged to attend and we were told that boys are now permitted to take male dates to our dances and PBAs permitted between boys and girls are now permitted between two boys. I had a blast. Three different boys asked me to the dance and since two of them date each other we decided to make it a foursome. I danced with all three and at one point we were doing a four-way dance. One sophomore spent half an hour in my lap sucking my tongue. It was amazing.
