this is a hard one to answer...
I believe that the time will come when you can and will tell your family... when? Well, that's for you to decide... As for your friends, you should feel at ease with them and should be easy to tell them...if they shun you because of who you are, they really weren't your friends in the first place...
As for a gay- friendly environment...look up online for the nearest LBGT center...
I can also recommend my group here on yahoo called troubledlesbians... It's not just for lesbians, its for bisexual girls as well...i'm sure the people that are members can give you some awesome advice...
I hope to see you join and good luck
Joan

Strange, before I even got to the additional info - my first response was move out of the South. Since you live in the area you probably know best what DC has to offer. I lived in DuPont back in the day. I recall it being a gay male mecca. I'm not sure if it has changed to accommodate both sexes. But I suspect it is like the Castro in San Francisco - male centric.
I'm not sure if they are still meeting but there was when I was in town a bi-group that met weekly - check City Paper. You may experience a lack of familiarity - if you know what I mean. Also stop at G-town, AU and GW I suspect they would have posting which might give you some direction.

where do you live?
Big cities are generally more gay-friendly than anywhere else.
In D.C., check out DuPont Circle. That's the place to be if you're gay. Alexandria itself is rather conservative and not going to yield much in the way of a good time or people that you can relate to.

hidding it isn't helping anyone out, especially you, even if it is just bi it can cause severe psycological problems later, never surpress imotions or things that are you. i am bi, i know there is parts of society that will never except me, but i have friends that do. most of my best friends are bi, lesbian or gay. they are the most understanding and loving people in the world...you need to let people know, you're not helping them except people by hiding, it's showing that are kind are ready to lay on our backs and give into conformitty, they know you personally, they love you and the only way you can be happy is to tell them, they loved you before knowing so they should after, open up your heart to the world and you will find that the world will open its heart to you. good luck and best wishes ^_~*

Im in #10, strong previous ny... yet ive been to places upstate that are somewhat homophobic, it somewhat relies upon on the position you stay contained in the state, human beings close to the metro NYC section and far a lot extra tolerant.

If you're bi-sexual, your family really need not know, unless you find a significant other of the same sex. Reason being... you don't brag to your family about your sexual experiences, positions, or even casual partners, so it's really a non-issue unless it becomes a bigger part of your life than sex.

I don't know your area, but every city I have ever lived in or visited has had a GLBT community center, with lots of services, support and fun things to do. Just put you city, and GLBT comm. ctr. in the computer, I bet you can find one nearby.

Try PFLAG or a Gay-Straight Alliance if you have one at your school. You may also wish to utilise the help of a counselor or someone of that nature, as they may be able to give you more specific help.

Look on this site for friends, by the way people are not afraid of homosexuals. If someone doesnt like that life style, it doesnt mean they are afraid of it. People dont like rotten fruit, but that doesnt mean they are afraid of rotten fruit.
