I didn't come out at all.
I just decided to stay straight. It would be too weird switch to gay.
I decided life would be simpler and feel more natural if my penis wasn't "looking for love in all the wrong places".

At first everyone including myself thought I was just going through a phase (I was 14). When I asked my father about it he told me he had no f*g son. It took him almost 4 years, and the realization that he was truly going to lose me to realize he had to at least try to be open to the idea of my sexuality. My stepmother (my real mother never was around) said she already knew, as did my sister and brother. My sister later came out of the closet (she is bi) and my step-mom said she understood because she used to have feelings for a woman. My grandmother (I was truly afraid to tell her since she is religious) was actually the most accepting person in the family, evidently she had a brother who was gay and could understand the support I needed.
It all depends on the individual but in the long haul the people you love will have to accept that you are gay. There are extreme cases where people refuse to accept it but most people choose to basically ignore it (as my father has). The people you love will more than likely love you back, they will come to realize, although it may take time, that just because you are gay, being gay is not who you are.

Well, I'm not gay, but I had a couple of friends who came out and I told one of them I knew already he was gay and the other one was a total surprise.
With the one who surprised me, we sat down and talked and she explain why she decided to come out at that particular time. I was actually angry at her for hiding it because she was living a lie since she was like 13 or 14 and she came out when she was 26. I told both of my friends that I didn't totally agree with their lifestyles but I will always support them. Inprayed with both of them that they remember to keep God in their lives and that they live safe and happy lives.
We all live in different states now but I still talk to them and we are still great friends. If you have people who love you now their feelings shouldn't change because you are gay. I will admit some might feel betrayed by the lie you've been living but they will get over it.

My mother only said that she had hoped for grandchildren one day bu that "Gwenneth is a lovely person. Love her and be kind to her."
I might say that my Brother has lovely children and that mother was over the moon with them.
Gwen's family ? Sadly that is another story.

It came as no surprise to anybody I knew or loved and was no big deal. My parents were cool with it and I brought all of my boyfriends home for them to meet. I was 16.

My family, except for my sister, didn't do anything dramatic. They just told me that they loved me and said that they rather I be happy. My sister was dating a strict catholic boy and he convinced her I was a disease... but they parted and now she is fine. Friends don't care... they know me and my boyfriend and love us dearly but every so often we still get looks from them because we kind of OD on the PDA!

If I have a child and he (she) tells me:mom Im gay". He (she) is out of my house and my life 4ever and ever. Being gay is veryyyyyyyyy nasty. That's why God created Man with penis and women with vagina. And they go together. Your Butt is to poop, not to have sex. I still can't understand how a man feels to kiss another man, or having sex together. OH! that's nasty, that's repulsive. Even thinking about it I feel like throwing up. I will pray for u because this a choice that u make. Make a more natural choice, get a woman! And U will NEVER have to come out.
