Does Anyone Have Any Tips On Coming Out of The Closet?

I know this question's probably been asked millions of times but I really need some advice. I plan to come out to my closest friends first, then when im more comfortable, my parents. Im really nervous about it but im tired of hiding my sexuality from everyone. Any tips or advice to make it easier?

Mabey You Should Write It Down First! It's Easier To Get Everything In Order That Way!

Step1.Pencil And Paper

Step2.Write Your Feelings

Step3.Consider What Points They May Make, And Explain Your Oppinions About Them
*Example*
My Parents May Say That Being Gay Is Against God's Wishes. But I Will Tell Them That God Said Love Is To Be For The Soul, And Souls Dont'Have Genders. In The Bible It Said God Is Woman And Man *Bacause He Is A Soul* And Love Knows No Bounds *If It's True*

But Please, Be Carful With Your Tone Of Voice. I've Tried To Explain This To My Parents Many Times And They Just Tell Me Not To Sas Back....Mabey It's Because I Get Too Heated And Explode On Them. But If You Need More In Depth Points, just Say So! I Wrote A Whole Paper On It For School =)

I Hope I Could Help, And I Wish To Be With You In Spirit When You Confess Your Natural Love To You Friends And Parents. I Have A Hard Time Telling My Parents That I'm Bisexual T.T, So I Don't Want Anyone To Suffer Their Parents Rage Or Dissapointment For Being Gay Or Les Or Even Striaght, Because Love Is Love And When You've Found THe One You've Found The One.

Be calm and honest and maybe start off saying something like : " i have something i would like to discuss with you friend to friend and i dont want you to judge it right away....

also.....tell them you are nervous and scared about it and if they are REAL friends they WONT abandon you......its tough but you will find out who your friends are. If you were my friend and you were a good person *not saying your not, I dont know you XD* then i would stay with you however you were or whatever you did XD juss be proud of who you are XD

I haven't came out of the closet yet but here is what I would do if I was going to:

1) Give your parent/friends/ect some hints. Whether you act like the opposite sex in a homosexual matter or show that you aren't interested in getting a mate of that gender. If they suspect then they will prepare themselves for the truth.

2) Find the closest person to you and tell them. It works all the time. I told my sister who is very close to me about a secret of mine (not my sexuality) and she reacted maturely. As long as you know that person enough to picture them not reacting negatively.

3) Right before you tell your friends, make a big deal. Overreact and tell them it's very important. They will expect the worse and be relieved to find out that it's just that your gay.
