How Do I Come Out Of The Closet?

Something to keep in mind is that coming out is not an event, it is a process. Once if begins, you will spend the rest of your life coming out. Because we live in a society which assumes that everyone is heterosexual, you will be confronted with the decision of coming out every time you find yourself in a new situation, city, school, job, etc. I am not trying to talk you out of it, that is something you need to decide for yourself. I just think it is an important consideration to keep in mind.

at 15 your best option is to maintain the privacy of your sexuality

you are too young to be branded for life and that brand will affect everything you do if you let yourself be identified by your sexuality.

peoples opimions are shaped by all sorts of factors and in the course of your education you may need the support and guidance from the sort of bigots that would shun you if they knew.

its not simply the fact that you are gay or even that you are different. It may be as simple as tha fact that you imposed your sexuality upon them at all. some people are really uncomfortable knowing too much about other people's sexually. the right to privacy works both ways. its one thing to tell close friends but you dont need to fly the flag this early in life.. sure maybe once a year at the parade but not at school and not in the office or loading dock.

there is a time and place for everything and the time and place for sex is behind closed doors in your off hours

Start with someone you trust if you feel you are ready. Once you have told one person at least then you also have someone to talk to about what your feeling and going through. Once you are comfortable with that then tall someone else and so on working up a support base of people who love and care for you. I wont like it sometimes it will be hard and some people may not accept you but as long as you have a few people who will support you it makes it easier.

I do not know your age but I applaud and support your courage to tell the world who you are. I would first get in touch with some group of peers around my age and that way you would have a protective base to deal with any future problems in disclosing your orientation. Afterwards I would tell my closet friends and leave my family for last. If you work you need to find out their policy on alternate life styles because you don't want to jeopardize your financial life. Big hugs to you my brave friend.

Check in with the local gay center and PFLAG.ORG. They will ive you info and support. Coming out isso diiferent for everybody. Prepare for it. Depending upon your family's attitude, you want to make sure it will be a safe place after you come out. Makse sure you are building a network of gay friends, including adults. You might have to stay overnight while your parents calm down. Keep a bag packed for this emergency.

In the meantime, make yourself stronger inside. Check out any gay social groups so you can meet other people. The more you associate with happy positive out people, the easier it will be to deal with your own life. Have a great life. It'swaiting out ther for you.

You are you. There is nothing wrong with that and you shouldn't be scared to admit who you are.

I think you should sit your parents down and just tell them that you are homosexual. Don't get mad if they get upset. Just tell them that you love them and that this is who you really are and you are happy with that. Think about how confused you were when you first realized you were gay. They are probably going to feel that way too. Once you tell your parents it will be easier to tell other people.

Hope this helps and best of luck!!

Tell someone you trust when your ready you'll feel better then want to tell other people. Then it keeps going and going and going and going like the enginazer bunny.

Choose someone who you're really close to and trust fully.

Tell them and then take it from there.
