Ok,so you may think coming out to your friends is as simple as an "I'm gay/bi", but um actually no its not.believe me,they will ask questions. Some people think coming out their friends will be terrifying,like they will completely humiliate you.ehh,not in all cases.

When you want to tell your friends know that you are indeed a part of the lgbt community,just come right out and say it.Be aware that they might ask questions like"why didn't you tell me" and "how do you know"

They might be a little shrubbish after you tell them,but things will get back to normal. If they begin to treat you very different then how they did before they knew,it might be best to let go !

At the time when I came out to my friends,I had a girlfriend,so I jusy told them about her.they asked"so youre gay?"and that was the end. Everything went right back to normal with us and the ones that treated me differently,i mentally said"bye,adios,see you later,don't let the doorknob hit you where the good lord split you,and goodbye."though it was kinda hard seeing them in the halls and not speaking.

This was just to help you all who haven't come out to your friends,and for you that have to share your stories

My family are all debaters, and we have many philosophical discussions with each other about most everything. After a few years of debating, I unwittingly converted him to agnosticism at around 16 (note; I just turned 16). My mother didn't take half the time (love her), and is pretty much where I stand. Consequently, they both could care less about my sexuality. Time line wise, it was rather convenient yeah? You see, I became aware of my non-heterosexual tendencies, after I was aware of my Atheism (LOL!).

Occasionally he teases that "Your going to marry a man. I'm making sure of it" Emoticon: Shock/Disappointed :|.

I must say, even before he converted, he promised to love me unconditionally.

My older brother is a bit of a expletive about it, I'm still waiting for him to admit he's pansexual like me. I've searched his history. I already know. My baby brother loves me either way.

Family... None cared. We have a couple of transgendered people, and many gays in our family. One lesbian. Three cousins of mine are in the closet. meh.

My friends. Well I wouldn't have cared even if they did have a problem with it. I think a lot of people knew it before I did. I've always been kinda... rough in my mannerisms. No since hiding in a closet of glass.
*shrug.*

Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. Remember that closet-ers!
