Being a fellow gay man myself who has been in a similar situation, here is the one bit of advice I can give. Nobody should give a damn... Now, since I'm sure that sounds a little harsh, let me explain. You're not in high school, dude. You're playing a video game with people who also love video games. You shouldn't be worrying about coming out, acceptance, or bigotry remarks. You should be worrying about that zombie about to gnaw on your face or the fact that you are staving to death DESPITE having a can of baked beans but no tool to open it with. People play these video games to escape real life issues- not to deal with them some more... Listen, in no way am I saying that you should of stayed in the closet. However, by "announcing" you are gay- you're forcing an issue that shouldn't be a big deal by turning it into a big deal. As some people here have said, most don't give a crap that we are gay. If you are good with a gun and you are trust worthy- then most will be happy to fight by your side. The ones that do give a crap- are the ones you shouldn't give a crap about anyway because they're obviously not worth anybody's time. I would of done what one dude above me said. Don't hide who you are, NEVER hide who you are but there isn't any reason to give them information that they didn't ask for when all most care about is playing the game. Just have fun with the game! Kill some zombies, bash in some bandit heads, regret not having a tool to open that can of baked beans (Bitter about that still...) and just enjoy the people you are with! If it came up, then be honest and tell them. There is no reason to hide it and there is no reason to announce it. A person's sexuality doesn't matter I a video game but gay or straight, if they are TRUELY your friends, then they won't care either way. All they would care about is that damn can of baked beans...
