It would be nice not to have to tell anyone near the beginning in some ways, so people can judge you on who you are rather than having preconceptions before they get to know you due to your sexuality. I mean, I wouldn't want to be known as "that gay guy from upstairs" at the end of week 1. But at least being open about it from the start means you won't waste time making friends that will desert you if/when they find out you're gay.

I don't plan to make a point of telling everyone, I will just tell them if they ask. Even that seems a bit of a daunting step!

i never suggested that you tell people right from the start. like you said, just if they ask. what i meant is, don't tell any lies about it at first.

If people treat you differently over being gay they are not worth talking to. Alot of my friends are bi or gay. I like my bi+gay friends but if keep it from me and I found out later I would doubt that person and wonder what else they have being not telling me about but maybe that just me. If you don't you could hurt yourself mental.
