Hey, dont dump him because of that! You have to understand that not everyone has a family that support them as gay people. If you have a family that supports you, thats great, but not everyone is as lucky as you. Just give him sometime. Maybe til he goes to college, and moves out from their parents' house, of course only if you guys are still going out. If you truly love him, you will understand him, and you will give him time. Dont force him to come out. You dont have to tell everyone, maybe just tell close friends, people who both of you trust. I cant really make you chose, because thats up to you. You have to ask your self if you truly love him and if you are willing to wait til he's ready. If your answer is no, then break up with him. I'm just going to warn you, most of gay guys are not out at your age, many wait til they are independent and have moved out from their parent's house....oh you also need to think on how his family will react if he comes out to them. Do they hate gay people? are they conservative parents? are they going to support their gay son? These are some of the many questions you have to ask yourself... Don't be selfish, If you love him you will make the decision that is going to be best for both of you.

dont force things but i can understand there is a limit to how long you can tolerate this.
its rare to find someone you are that close to that loves you. maybe keep asking him to show his love for you by going in the open.
coming out isn't that scary as long as you have a lot of support. if you have each other then that will make a huge difference.
just remember he might be very worreid about the negative reactions you two might face mostly from his family i would guess.
how do you think his family would react to this announcement?
