Secrets never last, even the swiss bankers know that... I called Sarah today to have some news about her broken foot. She was the second person I came out to, because I trust her and she's one of my best friends. This trust was maybe a bit too strong, as she couldn't help to say that I came out to her to one of her gay friends. She had asked me and I told her I didn't want because he can't hold his tongue... but she did. I didn't want to because I knew he would told it to everyone, and that was exactly what happened, so now around 25 persons know that I'm gay. For the moment it doesn't really bother me, because it's a welcomed publicity in a way, the only problem is that most of the people that now know know other friends of me, and you know how it works, you tell three people that tell three others etc.
The main problem is that my sister and my cousin are related to many of them, and it's only a question of time untill one of them will know it... Of course I would have told them one day or another, but now this day that I thought that was so far is much nearer.
I'm quite disappointed about Sarah, I didn't expect that from her, especially after I told her not to tell her friend. At least I hope that this publicity will bring some knew guys around.

I'm sorry man :(. Talk about a "friend"...more like a backstabber. What the heck is wrong with people they can't keep their mouths shut?
Oh no! It sucks when people can't hold their tongues. :-/
I hope it doesn't turn out so bad, like you said. Hopefully you can do some crowd control and make sure it doesn't reach your sister's or cousin's ears. Then again, this might be an easy way of letting them know . . .
That is nearly unforgivable. I hope she knows that she violated your trust and her word and that you can never trust her again.
The "gossip" might not reach your sister and cousin. But I think you should tell your sister before she finds out from someone else!
Sure, I should, but hum... it's not that easy :/
Maybe begin with your sister by making it about Sarah. Something along the lines of "I'm so angry with Sarah! I told her something very personal that I trusted her to keep confidential. She asked me if she could tell [insert name of gay guy] and I told her directly not to, because I know he can't keep a secret. But she went ahead and told him anyway. How could she do that??!! And of course now he's gone and told all his friends and soon everybody will know. I'm never sharing a secret with her again." That should get her to ask you what it was.
For the moment I have other things in mind, we'll see if something happens. I have my work, my preparation for the exams, my trips to organize... I don't want to think to much about it. Things that have to happen will anyways, and I'll care for it at the right moment.
