To be gay and happy too

A friend told me that after a long struggle, he finally decided to come clean and declared to the people around him that he is gay. ( Read: Homosexual )

Upon hearing his news, I brighten up and gave him a pat on his back and congratulated him.

"Don't you have anything else to say?" He asked.

I asked him if it was more important to be straight like the rest of us or if it was more important to realise his true nature of his sexuality.

"Know what you want, go for it, and be happy about it." I said.

And that's when we were done on that subject.
