Have you heard?

When people get together, they like sharing stories. These stories can be about themselves, or about others. Stories about others, also known as gossip, are generally found most interesting.
Yesterday, my best friend from highschool came by. He's the one I came out to a month ago. He went to a party last week. A lot of my old friends were present, and apparently my coming-out was crowned 'topic of the evening'.
I immediately asked him to fill me in. It seemed that the rumor about my sexuality had already started circulating a little while before the party. For some reason, most people didn't believe that I was gay ("he can't be gay, he plays video games!"), but it didn't keep them from gossiping about it. When my friend arrived at the party, he started talking to people, and validated the rumor. I guess at least 7 people figured it out that night, so now the news will even gain more momentum, like a snowball rolling down a steep slope.
I knew from the beginning that it wouldn't take long for the news to diffuse. I even anticipated it would. It seems that everything is going according to plan, just the way I wanted. And still no negative reactions. I guess I'm a lucky bastard.
