it was dramatic but okay. i didn't really come out. my mom just found a letter i made to her but i never really planned on giving it to her. she just found the letter by accident. she confronted me, it was awkward but everything's normal now.

My relationship with my family was pretty awful, but as a side effect, I didn't bother to hide the fact that I was gay from them. They knew by the time I was 13, mostly because I couldn't be bothered to care about their opinions. Rather, had they disapproved, that would have served as a validation. I didn't come out of the closet in highschool until after I was kicked out in my junior year and changed schools though, since my best friend at my previous school was also my (straight) crush, and I was terrified that if his parents found out, we wouldn't be able to hang out together anymore.

I was so afraid everyone would turn on me or to stop talking to me… I chose someone important enough to tell her but not that much so if she did, I wouldn't be broken about it... I told her in english cause it felt easier (my mother tongue is spanish) and she asked me to tell her in spanish, so I took a deep breath, say "I'm gay" in spanish and then cried my eyes out... everything was fine I was just so emotional... so after that I chose to come out to my sister, kind of the same thing happened, everything cool.
Things changed a little bit with my mother, she was the one crying, cause she didn't want people to criticize me or make fun of me and stuff so I told her "you're 20 years late... that has already happened and I'm still here!" she took a while to let it sink (she would let me touch her the first week after I came out) but everything turned out fine and we are very close now

not so good… but then it got better as i got older

My coming out was more for myself than anything. I think everyone around me had it figured out before I did. THEY were more comfortable with the idea than I was. <sigh> I thought I had to be THAT way. I didn't realize that I could just be me.</sigh>

I dont remember that much how it went. I remember seeing a childhood friend who turned out to be gay at around 16. I told him I had sex with a guy at 18( I really hated the sex and the guy actually) , so he said, well " you'r gay, say it'.. took me 5 minutes to say those 3 words though I thought that's not the truth coz I still like girls.
Then few weeks later I called my dad and told him I think I'm gay, he said " okay, there's nothing to be proud of, but okay." and that's it. quite a non event actually. Later I told old high school friends and such, but they didn't care. I mean it all depends of your cultural environment, where you live and all. Here and with friends who were mostly sons of teachers and stuff, being gay that's like saying you like apples and not orange.. I mean.. who cares .. that was mostly a decision to make between me and me. -
I am still thinking of coming out, but I did told my mom about it
it was full of tears and feeling sorry for me , yayks
