How do you tell someone you are gay or bisexual?

You may be surprised to find that people around you already have some idea about the situation. I would start with the people closest to you like family and dear friends. You don't have to advertise your sexual preference as this is only one facet of yourself. Being gay is not the big surprise any more than it used to be so after you're done telling your family and friends just live your life and do your thing. If you don't make a big deal of it others won't think they have to and if they don't associate with you afterwards, then it's their loss. You haven't changed anything except the fact that you made them aware personally....

A:

How I personally "Came out" wasn't actually telling anyone. I took an oath to myself not to lie about it, and the first time it was hard. You'd be surprised how fast these things spread. It was annoying though when everyone came to me asking "Are You Gay?"

A:

As far as who to come out to first, if you still live with your parents, tell a couple friends first. It can sometimes be harder to come out to your family and it would make it even harder if you had to live with them while they came accustomed to the news. Have a few friends who know so that if by chance your family does not react at their best, you have a support system to fall onto.
