Of course, all coming outs (comings out?) are somewhat traumatic, but it seems to me it would be a lot less so if you told your family members on an individual basis or when the issue came up, but not in front of everybody!

I have never known of one to go well. My ex roommate tried it, and it was a disaster. His mom got the idea in her head that he was just saying that to avoid family pressure at the holiday (the sort of "when are you going to find a girl?" questions) and it turned into this long drawn out melodramatic thing with his whole family that lasted for months. My advice - don't even think about it.

Every time our family got together for holidays or what ever event our family had to share, it was the same ol' questions. Who are you dating, planning on having children yet, when will you get married. At 17 during Thanksgiving dinner, while I was eating some pie and my Grandmother asked me the same BS questions. I stated with a mouth full, met someone new nothing serious, she is very cool and I am a lesbian. I am 35 years old now and that look on my grandmothers face is still priceless!
Of course no one really asks me those BS questions, sort of.

this is absolutely true. i've only told both my parents at once, and then everyone else (who knows) on a one-on-one basis. it's worked out quite nicely. good luck! =D
