By doing the latter first, the former much later.
And by first telling the family member that you think will be the most open minded....first. Then the second most open-minded family member...next. etc.
Doing it in that order softens the blow a bit when you get to the family members who are going to be the least accepting. I was the first one that a gay family told, because he knew I loved him and didn't care. He told his Dad last, who took it the worst. But he already had the support of the rest of us.........and though it was hard, the blow was less severe.

Well that depends on how consertaive your folks are. If they are realy conserative than maybe you should break it gently to them one at a time. Not that there is anything wrong with being a drag quean and gay but it depends on your family. Pick out the family member you are close to and tell them and work along the line from the person most easy to tell to the last person more difficult to tell. If your folks are open minded and easy to talk to then just tell hem "Hey I am gay and by the way I earn my living as a drag quean........................................... but if they are not that open minded a strategy might be the best plan. But at the end of the day its your choice what you do. God bless

I'm not sure that it's a good idea to tell about both at once. I understand your need to be honest with your family, to not have to hide who you are, but do try to realize that each of these is a separate issue, and both are going to take some major emotional adjustments for your family. It sometimes can help if you have a therapist or a counselor to get advice on coming out, even to enlist their help. Good luck to you.

I hope you mean to say a cross dresser. Why? Do you want do a drag number for your family? Are you confused about what drag is? Is it important that they know?

Um, if I were you, I wouldn't tell them both at once. Or rather, when you come out as gay, you may mention it as the topic of your sexuality is discussed. Just be easy about it - give them time to vent and cool down, then calmly explain things.

with a view to "commence accepting" your cousin, then purely ******* DO IT. commit to loving your cousin unconditionally, no remember in case you "comprehend the drag queen people" or no longer. quit implying that there is a few thing "incorrect" with him because of the fact he would not choose to this ingredient. quit judging his value according to his actual visual attraction. quit watching for him to in effective condition into your accepted of normalcy. enable him be himself, and love him no remember what, because of the fact he's kinfolk, and that's what kinfolk is meant to do. i actually, certainly don't comprehend why it fairly is so ******* troublesome for some people.

do like i did when i told my family of my decision to have SRS....get dressed, go to their house, knock on the door, and tell them. by the way, i was dressed in an ann klein wool short suit, white blouse and matching heels. when my mom answered the door she said "may i help you ma'am??". i nearly lost it right there. if i could pass muster with my own mother, i could pass anytime, anywhere.
and yes, my mom hasnt spoken to me since then, but that is HER problem, not mine.

It all depends on how they take it. If they will be in pure and utter shock and possibly may not want to have anything to do with you then I dunno I wouldn't risk it. It's still so new to society to accept especially w/parents. Slowly come out, don't just pour it over them all at once, it'll be a shocker thats for sure!
Good luck sweety.

Why do you want to tell them? I can assure you that, as a parent, I do NOT want to hear about my children's sex lives. I'm their parent not their best bud or their therapist.
Since when (unless you are a rapist) does a person's sex life define who he is as a person? Why do Gays define themselves by the word Gay? How about architect who likes to have sex with someone of the same sex? Or how about not mentioning your sex life at all? I can assure you that I don't want to hear about who you are having sex with or how you are doing it.
And while we are at it, when are homosexuals who like to loudly proclaim the details of their sex life to everyone, going to develop a little restraint or dignity?
