I still no, but i think , for me is very personal, i don't have afraid who someone know it , i go out with a few of my gay friends , so i'm no hide nothing , i think every mom knows very well when they have gay sons, so maybe they don't want to accept it, my family is no so close , so maybe one day my mom will know it for me , at this moment of my my life i really enjoy of everything that i do , the people always will to speak about us , i will to enjoy my life without any scare :) (btw sorry for my english :p)

Mine was quite an awkward. My family finally "officially" found out I was gay when I decided to bring my ex-boyfriend at my grandpa's funeral service. They did not speak to me for a week.

I simply told my mother after she returned from running some errands. I said to her "Mom, there's something important that we need to discuss..." And then I told her that I was transexual. The look on her face... ha! Then I told her "Nah, I'm just gay". And she was almost relieved. We had a brief chat about it, and then we moved on with our lives. I knew she was OK with me being "different", so there was no drama.

It was rather... anticlimactic, if you will, and not as liberating as other gays out there make it to be. But it was good to be honest with her. As for the rest of my family, they can, and do pardon my german, fuck off. She's the only one that matters to me.

I've basically come out to most of my close friends already, and it just feels amazing! :D

There was one friend that's really close to me that I've had since 2nd grade. He used to express some pretty bigoted thoughts against LGBT people when we were growing up, so naturally, I was very nervous to come out to him. When I did come out to him, he took it better than anyone else has! He told me that I had his complete and unconditional support, and then he joked around about it as if it were no big deal. He asked questions, and the only problem is that with the questions he asked, it seems like he thinks I am gay because I had 2 older sisters and not any brothers. I was like, "I'm pretty sure I was born this way," but I don't think he's with me on that.

His girlfriend, a really close friend of mine, is the reason why he stopped being so anti-LGBT. She used to have a lesbian roommate once and she taught him about how LGBT people are the same and that they don't choose what they are. Because of her, he was so open when I came out to him. Now, his girlfriend and I are trying to work a bit more on him. He still says that he wouldn't be okay with a gay son or daughter, but we need to convince him that the most important thing for a gay kid is to have supportive parents that love you unconditionally.

Anyway, I am super happy about my recent coming out experiences. :)

Not sure if I posted in here yet or not. The thought of telling any of my friends or family that I'm into guys is just horrifying to me, it will probably never happen.

Guys, try to be more communicative here. Sense of this thread is to give some inspiration or courage to guys who are still in closet. Posts like "When I was 16" doesn't make that.
Anyway, it's cool to see that 2 guys (Logan and Hettore) who were fighting with it hardly have done big progress. Keep it going guys.
And for these who think They will never come out: Never say never!
I was also very scarried before my comming out. But it was ok. And since I've done that, one big problem is behind me and solved forever.

It feels like everyone knew I was gay before I did. So when I was finally starting to uncerstand it myself, I went out with a boy much more experienced than me, this is early middle school btw so 14-15 years old... and he told a couple of people, not in a rude way but he was excited about going out with me. My self instead I was so worried I freaked out and stop seing him, but people started talking, so I send an e-mail to my sister, I wrote her because she was living out of town for college, she said she loved me :heart:, and that she knew all along, that went so well I started comming out little by little first to friends, then to extenden familly, my dad, well all the gayporn on the computer history it gave me away lol X_X

I think coming out is a process. I started coming out in high school and my coming out has continued over the years. I don't believe everyone is entitled to know what my sexuality is, even though I've been with my husband for over 35 years now. I've never denied my sexuality, but I don't believe everyone has a right to know what it is.

yeah... it was quite a process to me...

it started by my 12-13, when i begun noticing how beautiful my friends were... but, by that time, i think i was to shy or faint-hearted to make something about it. i also remember i had very strong feelings of denial and fault.

by 15-16 i had my first-very-big-and-huge crush, but i did nothing, again.

when i was 21-22, i really felt that i had to do something about my emotions instead of just simply ignore them, so i decided to tell about my feelings to people who were close, so i could try what i had to try more openly and with some support. by the way, religion helped me a lot in this point (a comprehensive one).

i first told to my parents, then to some friends. my parents were very nice... they didnt accept, told me i was wrong, but gave me space enough so i could follow my choices. my friends, on the other hand, were very supportive, and one of my closest ones tried really hard to get me a boyfriend.

i remember i had to go to my first gay party alone, but it was ok. at the beginning i was a little upset, but then i found a guy who was very kind, so it was a nice experience. and it was my first gay kiss.

and that was it.

I came out at age 26. Right after getting out of the US military. I came out to my best friend first, my siblings second, and my parents last. I am glad that I did. All my present friends know, and I live my life openly.

Late Bloomer

I was in my late 20's, so consider myself a lat bloomer. Always knew but rejected it for a long time. No regrets, very happy with my decision and proud of who I am.
