Told my friends randomly about a year or so ago and they were all fine with it just glad I did it. No drama.

About half a year ago coming home from school one weekend and decided I wanted to do it so I told my mom and she was shocked but okay with it, got home told the rest of my family and they were shocked but fine with it.

After a day everyone was normal again and didnt care at all so I guess mine wasnt dramatic at all

Well fortunately my mother did say she still loves me and that she sees that I am the same, but she thinks she did something wrong and will never support it.

I'm glad I came out during college. Not being home helped a lot. I don't mind too much now because my life still goes on and her opinion is irrelevant

I hope your coming out is smooth as can be

Did it change your life a lot?

- It made me much more comfortable about myself. I can openly discuss anything about myself and I am not uncomfortable. Don't really know how I lived before it. It sucked.

Did you expect the reactions or were they completely different?

- I expected the reactions I got. Friends to be okay with it and Family to be okay but surprised. Now when I see old high school people they just say oh cool good for you pretty much. I guess I'm lucky about there being really no backlash for it.

Do you wish that you hadn't come out?

I think everybody should be out and comfortable with themselves. Its more hurtful to keep it in because eventually it is going to come out if you ever want to be yourself around others you love. But don't rush it, do it when you're comfortable.

Please include if your family is religious or not

- My family is not religious at all. Most are atheist, or else they don't have a defined religion except believing in God. Nobody practices it.

thank you

I've actually never had to do that, but that's probably just because of where I live and the kind of people I surround myself with

Do you expect your sister to be okay with it? If you have some doubts, you could try to bring up the topic of homosexuality without relating it to yourself to see what she thinks.

omg i think im gonna do that, I'll show her some fine brothers react videos and then accidentally click on the kids react to gay marriage video

That's a good Idea actually. You could also do something similar with some close friends to kind of build a support system if things don't go well at home.

Anyway, I wish you the best! I hope everything turns out well and remember that even if your parents or anyone else in your family don't accept it at first, coming out will always be the best choice in the long run. Just do it whenever you feel like you're ready to do it.

Sis, last week the girls in my class called a gay dancer to dance with them in pe and he obv. had to go through our locker room and a boy was like "omg is he coming??? I'm not undressing myself until he goes through" He acted so paranoid

The sad thing is that he is one of my closer friends

Thanks sis, I think I'm gonna come out to my sister really soon (and maybe my mother bc i cant find some of my "gay" stuff (nothing dirty ) and im pretty sure she found them

Oh damn, good luck with that Maybe you should try to scare them so they at least leave you alone

Sis my parents found gay **** in the browser history when I was 12, I know how that feels

Haven't come out to my family but my parents already have an idea. My close friends know and I can be comfortable around them and not be afraid of thinking if what I'm saying is "too gay."

TBD

Your parents seem great about it, my parents did the exact same. I think you should be fine there

As for friends, I know it's hard but you should either give them some time to change their mind when they do react badly to you coming out or you should cut them out of your life completely. If they react terribly, it means that they're not as good of friends as you think you are. Remember that friends should make you feel good. If they only bring negativity to your life, they're not worth your time.
