Re: How do you come out?

[pantasma]

"Hey, so that girl coming over? We're not just friends..."

But seriously, I didn't tell them 'til I had my lady coming over for the first time. My mom had figured it out long ago, and my dad really didn't give a shit (it was so anti-climatic with him, I wanted to burst into tears over the stress building and building, then not getting any kind of reaction besides a shrug and a half-irritated, "Can I go finish [cooking] dinner, now?").

I grew up in one of the most open, supportive, relaxed, trusting environments, and the thought of coming out still freaked me the fuck out. So no, it's not stupid. It's something societies make a big deal out of, and it's someone you seem to really care about, and care what they think of you. Sounds like you have a great mom, and it'll just kind of tumble out at some point.

Think of it like bungie-jumping: just lean forward when they stop counting down, and it's all you have to do. Do it over breakfast or dinner, or something. It'll be a normal conversation. You don't have to preface it with anything ("There's something I want to tell you," "I need to tell you something"). You could even phrase it as a question ("Do you know I'm gay/queer/whatevs?").

Or you could be 16y/o me and say, "Soooo, I'm not exactly... 'straight'."

Deep breaths. You'll be fine. And if you need to go to your room and have a reaction afterwards, that's fine too. xP
