Yeah another gay friend of mine (not my flatmate) really struggled with it aswell... he even went out with a girl in college and was very slow to come out... even to his friends... alot of Gay men (don't know about women) suffer a variety of problems.. i.e. alcoholism... the main reason isn't normally what the world thinks..(although sometimes it is) the main fear for them is usually the fear of disappointing their family or being rejected by them.. the 'coming out' period for them is often VERY traumatic.... my flatmate went through a rough time too.. but is totally over it now
