I came out to my friends and sister in high school, and then a week later, I told my mom.
I didn't lose any friends, but my family life has changed… a lot. My mother tries to push guys onto me now, and we don't talk to each other as much as we did before.
I don't hide my sexuality. If someone asks if I'm gay, I say yes. Sometimes I joke about it to make others feel a little comfortable.
I don't often initiate the conversation that I am bisexual until I know that person well, but then again, if someone asks, I tell...hehe.
I've told one professor that I'm bisexual...well she guessed ^_^ but other than that unless I'm friends with the professor, I don't tell them much about myself.
I’ve never had to discuss romance in class yet but when if I do I most likely would say “someone” or use third-person pronouns.
