Take your time. I started out by telling just a few gay (lesbian bisexual transgender u get the point) friends at a time akin slowly working up to my parents. The fact is if your friends don't find u attractive now comming out wont change their opinion.
just don't casre what others think- im transgender and my mom hates me for it but i dont give a shit because she's lesbian and i never judged her- i supported her
I have no idea what it must be like to come out. All I'm pleased about is that it's becoming so mainstream that eventually no-one may ever have to be "in".
