Well I'm getting to a point in my life where I'm comfortable with my sexuality and am ready to start coming out. My question is who needs to hear it first. I was thinking of starting with my brother, then the friends I know (hope) won't have a problem with it, and telling the parentals last. That way if telling the parents backfires, seeing as how I live with them, then I have someone to turn to for help if i need a place to stay (hopefully not, but I'm not too confident my parents will take it all too well, especially dad.) Mom is a family therapist and I'm pretty sure she already knows and I'm almost sure she'll be ok with it, but dad treats me like crap all the time so I need to be prepared to move out if **** hits the fan. What do you guys think would make it easier? Also I think I want my closest friends to be there when I tell my mom, think that would be a good idea, having support? I'm not telling dad unless he asks...and I'm sure mom will drop subtle hints to him.
