Gay men who disclose their sexual orientation to their straight male friends earlier in life may be able to build more open and honest friendships with them into adulthood.

I couldn't resist the temptation, but I wish I had. When we're taught to repress our sexuality, the lines between intimacy and friendship blur. Lust gets tangled into love. And the prospect of healing our trauma with a friend that we're attracted to is hard to ignore I'm that idiot who loved someone straight, despite knowing the reality that they would never love me back.

My feelings for her progressed throughout high school. By senior year, she had a serious boyfriend, and we grew distant because it was too hard for me. I didn't tell her how I felt until years later.
