I (18M) accidentally exposed another guy I know (also 18M). But let me backtrack.

When we were both 16, we went on a church trip. Unfortunately, we were paired in the same group. We went to CiCi’s Pizza, and while we were talking, he told us he was "bisexual" (keep that in mind). Then he asked me what I was, and I said I was gay. He replied, “We knew that already,” and I said, “The apple loves to try to find a different tree.”

Later that day, we went to play laser tag. He came up behind me and whispered in my ear that he wanted to meet in the bathroom (DON’T YOU DARE JUDGE ME). I complied, and let’s just say—we did things. At the end of the day, we exchanged numbers and talked every day for three weeks straight. Then... ghosted.

So I went to church to confront him. When I got there, he avoided me, so I left him alone. A few weeks later, we were rehearsing for a play, and he started using my sexuality against me, trying to embarrass me (but I didn’t care about him being embarrassed). That went on for about a month.

Eventually, I got sick of it. I texted him and warned that if he tried to embarrass me again, I would expose him. He said, “Bet.” (Huge mistake.)

Today, he said, “Why do you walk like that? Was your dad like that too?” So I said, “Considering how much you loved me back when you wanted to hop in my drawers, you should know a lot about how I walk.”

His facial expression dropped. The whole room went silent and stared at him. I got up and walked out. All I heard was people chattering. Next thing I knew, he followed me out and tried to make it seem like I was a bully for putting his business out there. He said he never wanted to come out at church, and I told him I didn’t care—I was tired of him trying to embarrass me. He called me an asshole.

So... am I the asshole?
