You will grow up attracted to men, so don't sweat it.

Don't do anything... He'll come out of the closet when he's ready to.  If you ask him it might offend him if he's not.

That really sucks that you got kicked out and I feel for you on that one.  Its a really hard thing to do but you have to be you.  True to you.  And if people cant handle that, thats their problem.  You have to bite the bullet and tell them.  Maybe these people will be different, more understanding.  \nDont just blurt it out.  I did that and it got me in a bit of trouble.  Just casually come out with it. Would you be cool if I brought a man home.  I need to tell you something, can you keep confidence?  That sort of thing.  There are various ways of going about it.  If they are stiff about the idea tell them in such a way that you want them to keep confidence.  Make them feel important about the idea.  \nI hope this helps and best of luck!

Since you say that mom would probably kick you out of the house, do you really need to tell her? Coming out does not have to be something that is done in a single week. You told your boyfriend, and that is what is important. You should tell people about your sexuality that you are sexually involved with. For your family, it is only when you are comfortable telling them and aren't in a position of being dependent on them. If you think your friends won't accept it, are they really your friends? If they don't accept you, find better friends who are more supportive.

I am the mother of a very confused 12 year old boy.  I have had several conversations with him on this very subject.  I am a very strong Christian, and I know that most churches, even mine, are against homosexuality, but we are talking about my SON.  No matter what happens, I will always love my son.  I can separate the person my son is from the things he does.  Some parents, like mine, cannot.  I refuse to reject my son, no matter what he chooses.  I may not want to hear about his first boyfriend, but I will always support him emotionally, spiritually, and financially the best that I can.\n\nWhatever happens with your situation, I wish you tender hugs from all who love you, parents, friends, and any other support people you may have.  Plus, if you are not already seeing someone, I hope you would consider seeing a therapist or attend a gay/lesbien support group before you come out to everyone, especially your parents (if they seem to be a bit dodgy about the subject).

This happend to someone I knew.\n\nwhat I suggest is keep on truckin' and be who you are.  Unfortunately in our society there will be people who will not accept for who you are, family included.  \n\nSometimes its too hard on them when they see you as a woman, some families prefer to just turn a blind eye and pretend that everything is alright.\n\nHopefully you have an open-minded family.\n\nClose-minded religious folks + GLBT is like oil and water.

I am out to my friends and family.  I did not come out until I was 23...a few years ago and it lifted such tremendous weight off my shoulders.  I cried to my Mom and told her that my "friend" was more than that and I was tired of hiding my feelings.  I actually feel free now.  No more trying to have a girlfriend to look "normal" in front of my parents.  No more calling my boyfriend a "friend".  No more hiding from people when I want to hug the person I love.  No more lies. Period.\n\nOne thing I did learn is that you cannot rush it to come out.  Your time will come. Just be yourself.  You may have to cover up things you really do not want to, but be cautious of who you confide in and expect some people to shun you and not want anything to do with you.  But don't sweat it. Your real friends will be accepting and it won't eve be an issue.  Being gay shouldn't be the topic of every discussion...it's just an extension of you are.  You happen to like someone of the same sex. People just need to accept that.\n\nYour life will change, but for the better.  You do not want to go through life hiding and faking.  That is more difficult than just coming out an dealing with people who dislike you for being gay.  It makes it easier for you to know who can be your friend when they know the real you.  And, coming out is a journey.  You do not just come out and blabber it away to everyone.  If someone asks...tell them the truth. But, if they don't..it's none of their business.  The time will come when you need to tell them if necessary.\n\nIt's up to "us" to educate people and let them know that we are just as normal as they are.  Who we sleep with has nothing to do with our pesonality and our capablilities of being successful in life.  \n\nSo, again, don't spend to much time thinking of when you should come out.  Your time will come.  If it's now...then do it.  But be ready for good and bad.\n\nUltimately, you will find happiness in yourself and the people that love you will see that.

She needs to come out to them without you there.\n\nHer sexual orientation is not about you.\n\nIf she comes out with you sitting beside her you become the "dark witchy" woman who "turned their daughter gay".\n\nI think you'll all be much better off if she tells her parents separately and once they have had a little time to digest they can start getting to getting adjusted to you in relationship to their new understanding of their daughter.

Deal with it. \n\nAccept it, and say that you are not gay(unless you are...).\nTell him to accept you as a hetero.

First you have to be sure about yourself, once you have accepted the fact that you are gay and there is no way of changing the fact then you have to be strong, because over the years to come you will hear all sorts of jokes and comments that are cruel, but are based on ignorance. You have to understand, that you have had time to become used to the idea of being gay, and probably have for some time, but when you come out to your family, this will be the first time they have had it confirmed and it will take them time to get use to it. First level with them, just sit them down and level with them, don't do what most gay people have done in the past including myself and that is to try and hide it, because you can never get away from it. The next thing to do is to be the man that you are, being gay doesn't mean you have to be a pansy, you can still be the man you know you are and the man they thought you where going to be. Move out as soon as you can and avoid contact with them for a few months, this does two things. 1. it gives them time to discuss, fight, backstab and blame each other, without yuo having to hear it or feel guilty about it, because you didn't choose to be gay, you where born that way, and anyone who says other wise is a bloody idiot.\n2. This gives you time to explore your sexuallity without the fear of being caught with your pants down by your parents.\n16 is young, but at 16 I knew I was a raging queer, but it wasn't until I was thirty that I levelled with my family, during this time I explored straight relationships, gay one night stands, sauna's etc... But in the end I faced my fears and relized if I didn't level with my family, I would never have a chance of being happy with my own life and to me my life is the more important that the embarassment I caused my parents. For ten years I have lived in a gay relationship and now my family accept my partner as a part of the family, they now accept that they are not going to get grandchildren but now they have had the time to relize that I hadn't change, I was still the son they had 42 years ago, good luck kid, but careful there are some crazy mother----- out there, but be happy and have fun

That depends.  Do you have an idea as to how they will react?  If you think they'll be okay or just a little weirded out, tell them when you feel comfortable.  If they are strict and really religious and you can see them having a huge issue with it, wait until are, or close to 18.  That way you have the option of moving out or at least being an adult where they can't control your life so much and you can make your own choices.  \n\nIts scary, but now days they have church camps where they claim to 'cure gay teens'.  If you think your parents are that exreme, it might be good to wait.  Coming out can be scary, but be strong in yourself and who you are.  And always remember there is nothing wrong with you no matter what others may say.

I can't claim to know anything about your problem, I'm a straight female.  But it just broke my heart to read your question.  This must be so difficult for you.  I don't know what to tell you to do, maybe you should try to wait for the right person to come along before you say anything, at least then you would have some kind of support.  I can't speak for your parents, of course, but if my child came to me and told me he's gay, I would be loving and supportive, a parent always loves their children, no matter what, at least that's the way I feel about my child.  I just wanted you to know I feel for you and wish you the best! :)
