That is a very personal decision. You have to consider what is at stake and what is not. If you decide to come out, be prepared to cope with what comes after at home, work and/or school.
There are so many things to take into account that, if you think too much, you'll never take the step.
Suggestion: make a list of pros and cons then wheigh what the outcome can be in either case. Quoting Forrest Gump's mom, "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."
Same thing applies to this decision; it's like playing the roulette. It can turn out OK, but, on the other hand, it can result in chaos.

If you are gay, then you should 'come out of the closet' ... but doing that isn't going to be easy ... so I'd say that you should 'come out' to your best/closest friends first, one at a time, and 'test the waters' slowly. Eventually, you'll NEED to talk to your 'family' (parents, spouse, children) but you shouldn't do that until you have a 'good solid support network' around you ...

You tell your father and mom that in the event that they are going to bypass with the full "gay is a sin" ingredient, then your mom shouldn't additionally be chatting with you because of the fact in accordance to the bible, women are actually not meant to lecture or coach a guy. in case you're at it, get on your mom approximately her sinful existence of having a haircut two times a 300 and sixty 5 days. additionally, next time your loved ones eats at purple Lobster, element out that they are committing an abomination by ability of ingesting shellfish. And ask them why rapists are in reformatory, because of the fact the bible condones rape. your loved ones isn't anti-gay because of the fact the bible says so. they are only utilising it for an excuse to be bigoted.

Don't know you well enough (actually don't know you at all) to advise properly. You could give a bit more detail as to your situation.
I know some guys who have a "revolving door" to their closet.

It not that bad now aday for gay people to let others know that they are gay. But do you think that when the others know what you are: will you be embarrassed? If you are not and dont really care then it okay to let your freidns know.

To hide anything is to be as invisible,feel invisible and live that way,i think you really want to be open,"just do it" as it will help you breathe. Their is no happy medium,my friend,just go for it. It will be like lifting weight off of your shoulders.
Of course,you cannot please everyone,so please YOU.Best i wish for you my friend
