The whole, "Coming out" thing

[KillerKing]

Okay, so this is really bugging me.

I am bi, I've accepted that a while ago and a few people know about me but not many and I know they won't tell another soul. I want everyone to know but I don't want it to be a big deal. I don't see why it's so shocking when someone 'comes out' as gay or bi. It just really annoys me because it's not like straight people have to say "I'm Staight" and then everyones like "OH, NO WAY!!"

So, I was just wondering, if anyone else has had success, or a plan to come out without drawing everyones bluddy attention!

Thanks!

my best advice is to start by telling your BEST close friends. thats what i did when i accepted my sexuality. only my best friends know.

Ah, when I said everyone, I meant everyone but family XD But that's a good idea, but i have family added on facebook.

Having family on Facebook is a bad idea anyways, but try this:

Facebook -> Account -> Privacy Settings -> Custom -> Customise Settings ->
Interested in and looking for -> Customise -> Hide this from -> Type in your family

:D

I would start telling one person each day who you trst the most. you're true friends wont care what your sexuality is. The people who do care, wont support you and they aren't your true friends. Try getting involved in groups if you have any at your school, they help and is a way to meet other people.

Well, I felt exactly the same way about it. Why should I declare my sexuality when straight people don't have to? Why should it be such a big deal?

And yes, I've had success coming out without making any official announcement of being a lesbian. I just... acted gay, I guess. I mean, like any straight person, just in a gay way. For example... when all the girls were discussing who's the hottest guy at school I started talking about a girl. When they saw a handsome guy and they were like "wow, he's nice", I said something like "his girlfriend's cute". When we were watching a movie and they were all crazy about some actor, I was crazy about the actress, etc. Basically all I'm doing is, that I don't hide being gay. And people just figure it out from my behavior that I am. Some people think I'm joking and say something like "that sounds so gay", but I just always answer "I never said I was straight". And it worked for me that way. Now everyone knows I'm a lesbian, although there has never been any fuss about it.

that's basically what I did and it's simple that way and just tell your close friends and if you wanted to you could get them to help you to tell others

I go to a small school were when I come out everyone will know. The good thing about it is that most people will be ok with it outwardly. As for the plan tell a few people at a time and let it sink in through gossip, but that will cause comotion.

Okay so the way I came out was I talked to my then bi friend and asked her how she did it she asked me why and I told her that I was bi (I am gay though lol) she said just tell them lol best way bro. The people who are close just say oh btw Im bi/gay/w.e. people u don't know as well type them in facebook. then after that people dont really need to know but if they ask dont lie. thats worked for me. also if your schol has a positive spaces club join it . I am a main member at mine and everyone at school pretty much knows cuz of that.

I really would not dare to come out to my friends
