Ready to come out! :)?

So, I'm ready to fully come out.

I've told my mother, brother and closest friends throughout the years that I'm a lesbian, and now I just want to get it out in the open.

I've sorta taken the easier way in the past. I've always told them by e-mail, online etc... never really in person.

But, the way I've been thinking of telling more people is at lunch time at school basically everyone I know sits at the same table, and I was thinking of coming out then, but, I'm not sure how to do it.

I'm so nervous to just say it, and it seems so out of the blue. I don't know how to formulate it, or should I just simply say it? Is there a way of intersecting it into conversation? Should I write it on paper and show people or something else? Any ideas or suggestions? ... I don't know, I just feel like if I try to say it out loud I'll choke and not be able to get the words out!

    I would say facebook is the fastest way, just change your preference to women and say something on your status that "Im fully out and the open" and Im proud of my sexuality! : )

    Congrats! : D

    I'd say be careful about how you come out. You don't wanna seem like an attention whore by coming out the wrong way. I'd say just be open about your sexuality without ever officially announcing it, like saying a girl is hot or something and eventually they'll ask you if you're bi or lesbian, then you tell them.

    If you want to come out through an announcement, change your "interested in" on facebook to women. It's kind of discreet and you're not really announcing it, just updating your profile.

    But I'd avoid making a big deal about it in person.

    Good for you for doing this. If I were you what I would do is approach a hand full of friends who sit at that table and tell them your plan. This way they wont be in total shock when you reviel it, and can instead help others at the table to understand why you perfer wemen.

    Good luck ;)

    Why does it have to be a huge production? If someone asks you about it, then say "Yeah" and move on, geez, don't be annoying.

    Source(s): Open about my attraction, but I don't have any reason to tell EVERYBODY (unless asked).
