I have a friend that told me their gay but is scared to tell there family because of the reactions they might get from family members. Should I tell the family for them?
I don't think that you should say anything, because I don't think it's your place to say anything! This does not involve you! I know you want to help your friend, but if you say anything, I think you will only make things worse! As scary as it may be, your friend has two options. Either tell his or her parents that he or she is gay and live with their reaction or take the risk of his or her parents finding this out from someone else.
NO! It's not your place to tell them something that personal. If he is not ready to tell his family yet - there is NOTHING wrong with that. That is a huge life changing event when you come out to people - and you should be a true friend and just be there and support him without telling other people. It's not your place.
I don't think you should say anything about that, thats your friends personal way of life, what you could do is give him your support and friendship and maybe when he realizes your there for him then he might tell his family on his own.
Yeah, its none of your business as far as coming out for them. Things will unfold in time, in the mean time, just be there for your friend.
Its none of your business... unless your friend asks you to tell his/her parents without you pressuring him/her to let you do so
Don't do it unless you got an OK from your friend. Otherwise, when he is ready to tell his family he will. He just needs time.
oh what a good friend you are...
