Do I come out today? Do I wait because it’s a holiday, and not about me? Am I strong enough? Am I really ready for rejection? So many things going through my mind. Once it’s out, there is no going back. My immediate family knows, but no one else has a clue I don’t think. Someone please tell me what I should do?

So the cat is out of the bag. There were a few hugs, and a few strange looks. But it’s done!

Thank you. I don’t think there are any that care either way. But I’m concerned about how they are going to react to me. I guess I’m just afraid.

Trust your gut. When you feel ready, you are ready. And if it isn’t someone else’s birthday, then it’s fine if you put the attention on yourself. Unless there are homophobes or non-lgbtqia (A=Ally/Supporter, so supporters are LGBTQIA) people in your family, it’s best to only tell the ones you are comfortable telling. I hope this helps!
