How do I tell my roommate I'm gay?

<p>Oh, yes, I completely agree about moving students if there’s real sexual tension. Just noting that, if the only problem is feeling a little uncomfortable, most dorms won’t move you. That’s just a usual reaction to living with almost anyone in close quarters. </p>

<p>I’m not at all a fan of don’t ask, don’t tell, but I think each person has a choice whether to let their sexuality be known. I personally think all people should be equally able to express their sexualities without any fear, which sadly isn’t too possible. I don’t hide the fact – in most environments – that I’ve dated girls. I also don’t hide the fact that I would never have a crush on a straight girl, or at least I would never express it to her. If I were to room with her, I’d just take myself out of any situation in which anyone could happen. Most of us have more sense than to hit on a straight person – I think you’re too used to hearing about the bar scene. :)</p>
