There was a time when I thought that I'd never be able to come out to my family. Eventually, I began to feel like, "Fuck it!" I became a coming out machine.

I don't know what people said/say about me when I'm not around, but to my face, at least, everybody has been cool. I mean, there're some people who don't talk to me, but I'd rather there be silence than obvious acrimony. My dad and I, for example, don't talk at all. But I feel no remorse about that because: a) he and my mom aren't married anymore, and b) he and I haven't liked each other since I was 8 (Fuck that bitch).

Came out when I was 13.

Damn, Jayden. Good for you, man.

I'm out to a few family members and friends. As for the rest, I don't advertise, but I don't hide it either.

Where's the in-between option? I am out to some and not to others.

I was out of state doing community service with my church... like any good sibling, she took the opportunity to ransack my bedroom and give anything she found to our parents to get me in trouble (which in that case, was gay porn hidden in a locked box in my closet)

Did or have you forgiven your sister for such an intrusion into your life? Maybe it all worked out in the end but I'd have a hard time with my sister if she did that to me.

Out to my family since I was 12, more-or-less out at high school, and hella out ever after.

I'm still in, only about 15 people know about me being gay, but I'm planning on starting to tell more people come mid-September, when classes begin again. I just feel it's useless to come out to my college friends right away, as I'd end up having to go through the awkward period all over again after the summer.

When it comes to my parents, I'm just gonna wait until things are not so bad that they may go over the edge by my coming out, but not so good that they'll blame me for ruining everything, when it was all perfectly fine before. This is what I tell myself. However, no matter which moment I choose, they *will* go over the edge and they *will* blame me for ruining everything, until they get over it.
They always say "Do us a favor and be happy." when we talk on the phone, so I'm gonna hold them to that.
