Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. It's great that you want to be supportive of your classmate and build a friendship with him. It's important to remember that coming out is a personal decision, and you should only do it if you feel comfortable and safe.
Given the situation in your country where being queer can have legal consequences, it's crucial to prioritize your safety. Before considering coming out to your classmate, it's essential to assess the potential risks and consequences it may have for both of you. Consider the laws and social attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community in your country.
If you feel that it is safe and you trust your classmate, you could consider coming out to him. Having a friend who understands and supports you can be incredibly valuable. However, it's important to take your time and make sure you're making the right decision for yourself.
In the meantime, you can start building a friendship with him by finding common interests or activities that you both enjoy. You mentioned that he is very friendly, so perhaps you can start by engaging in casual conversations and gradually get to know each other better.
An update I wanted to tell you ^^
A few days ago, in my school we have this apologize ceremonial and he literally came to me saying sorry and stuff. I apologize to him too haha and I told him that I have a secret I wanted to tell him. I could've said it outright there but I'm not ready yet, I said "I'll tell you after we finished our exam (march 2024), promise" lmao it's funny and precious to me, I want us or maybe me, to get into secured position first and graduated from hs :D
This isn't manga related and queer exclusive. You can scroll down if you want to. And I'm sorry.
First of all, I'm bi. There's my classmate that openly gay. He didn't come out but his twitter page got leak and everyone in school knows abt it. I've been in the closet since forever and don't ever plan to come out. But him, I want to be his friend?? In a sense of comrade? My country is very hard for queer people to live. If we get caught, will in-out court and stuff. So I wonder, should I come out to him? We could be buddies and talk about literally anything. He's very friendly. We knew each other since we're 5 years old but we aren't close.
