Depends on that person's life.

for me yes. it was one of the scariest and hardest things to do! I thought about it for years before I had the courage to do it.

No... Personally, it was easy for me.

No, there are harder things in life than coming out tbh.

I'd say no. It IS hard, but once you're past it, that's it. I'd say having a relationship is, as in from a public perspective. Like...the staring and the whole acting like it's invalid etc.

For a gay person, yes, it could be. it depends.

Some of the responses in here make no sense though.

it depends on how your family is tbh. It is not the same for all gays.

No, expecting who you are before anyone else is much harder.

....well...

It's not the hardest thing for them to do

Not for me. Coming out wasn't a big deal, but finding a partner/someone to love seems impossible.

In that time and moment it is. For me personally I know it was being that my parents are ultra-conservative religious.

Fast forward to now I think the hardest thing as a gay man is your experiences with your first love. For me it was the realization that as a gay man it will be harder to find a long-term relationship. One possibly to spend the rest of my life with. My first love made me realize my own demise as a gay man is the reality of our stereotypes. Promiscuity, and the drive for bigger better things. etc. I may be a bit hostile when it comes to my opinions against my lifestyle but its a decision I've made through my own observations.

It's not really the coming out itself, more of what follows that.

****, I wish the hardest thing in my life was coming out or being in a relationship. Those are so minute compared to real problems.
