    I was thinking sitting down and saying:
    "I need to tell you something... I'm straight."
    They will stare at me like what and I will say
    "I'm straight up gay!"
    And then run away. What's a creative way to come out?:icon_wink

    Sounds funny :slight_smile:. But expect them to run after you. They will have a lot to ask and running away might make them feel like their is something wrong.

    My guidence counselor told my dad I was gay without my permission so there is not much experience on my hand with creativity.

    You could announce you are straight...as cooked, rainbow-coloured spaghetti is straight, then stay put and smile coyly. :grin:

    Literally come out of a closet and scream i'm gay. If it goes right, they'll either Hug you or punch you from the heart attack you just gave them after that random jump.

    Well today I physically stood inside the closet in Culinary and stepped out saying, "hey guys, I'm coming out of the closet!". Then after everyone finished laughing I was like "no seriously though, I like girls."

    This ginormous list has a lot of really good ones :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    101. Record your voice saying “I’m gay” in a build-a-bear and give it as a gift to your parents.
    100. Knock knock joke. For example, you= “Knock knock”, parents= who’s there? You= It’s me your son/daughter, parents= it’s me your son/daughter who, you= “is gay”.
    99. Write a song about being gay and perform it for your parents.
    98. Write a poem.
    97. Take pictures of you and your significant other kissing and leave them around places you know they will find them.
    96. Get a rainbow tattooed somewhere on your body.
    95. Act the stereotypical gay way, and have them assume you’re gay without having to actually “come out”.

    94. Play a game of scrabble and save the letters until you can spell “I am gay”.
    93. Tell your parents when the vacuum is on.
    92. Bake a cake and in icing write “I’m gay” on it.
    91. Play any board game and include a card that says your name and “is gay” and be sure that they choose it.
    90. Knit a rainbow scarf for your parents.
    89. Throw a party where the theme is “gayness”.
    88. Label the food/beer in your parent’s house with the word “gay”. For example, gay mustard.
    87. If you’re male cook your parents extremely phallic looking foods, and if you’re female cook extremely vaggie looking foods and continue to comment how much you like their shape and taste.
    86. Make a simple sign.
    85. At your friend’s wedding make a toast and briefly mention how it’s currently illegal for you to wed.
    84. Create a cheer. For example: yell “I- M- G- A- Y, I ain’t got to alibi, i’m gay yeah yeah i’m gay”!
    83. Express your gayness with fruit. Sit your parents down and place two plates of fruit in front of them. One with a banana and two apples to resemble a penis. And on the other two big oranges. Point to the plate you obviously like more and hint at it until they realize.
    82. Wear the rainbow flag as a skirt.
    81. Draw a picture.
    80. Write a blog and have them read it.
    79. Have your siblings tell them.
    78. Tell them over the phone.
    77. Tell them in a text (if they are that technologically advanced)
    76. Write them an email.
    75. JUMBOTRON. Take them to a sports game & on the jumbo-tron have other audience members hold up the letters to spell out “i’m gay”.
    74. Come out to everyone around them and hope some one else accidentally spills the beans.
    73. Climb a mountain with them and shout it from the mountain tops.
    72. Constantly talk about how “hot” or “cute” celebrities of the same sex.
    71. Write a rap song and perform it.
    70. Non-chalantly bring it up over dinner. Right after you say it ask for the butter.
    69. Dress as stereotypical gay characters for halloween. Or go as skittles, with the slogan “taste the rainbow”, or the lucky charms guy with an attached rainbow.
    68. Spray paint “I’m gay” on a t-shirt.
    67. Talk about how much you admire gay celebrities (Ellen Degeneres or Elton John for Instance).
    66. Have all the posters on your wall be of same sex people/celebrities.
    65. Put together a scanvenger hunt, where the clues are all gay related and lead to you expressing your feelings.
    64. Bring them to a family counseling center and reveal it there.
    63. Write it in chalk on the driveway.
    62. Have all gay friends. Maybe they’ll infer your sexuality.

    59. Tell them while you’re flying (in a plane).
    58. Inform them on a boat.
    57. Go to the store and separate from your parents. Then go up to the front desk supervisor and ask them to page them. Give your first name and say your last name is “Esgayy”. Therefore, it would go a little something like this: “Will customer Mary Hart please come to the front of the store you daughter “Sarah ESGAY” is waiting for you”. Hopefully they notice.

    50. Take them to a gay pride festival.
    49. Play charades and have them guess.
    48. Learn the phrase, “I’m gay” in other languages and say it in the other languages until you feel comfortable saying it in your native tongue.
    47. Bust out all your cutest baby photos and reveal it after they’ve gotten all mushy-gushy.
    46. Write it in sand.

    I wrote a poem once about wearing a mask. My mom liked the poem but didn't get the metaphor. She thought it was just about my being introverted and shy. I didn't have the heart to tell her at that time. She understood the poem after I came out in a letter to her. After that mom didn't like my poems as much.

    You can come out with the daily grace video on YouTube. I didn't do anything exciting when I came out to my parents but when I came out in school I did so by running around the hallways screaming out I like girls and even said some crude things. My friends and other class mates thought it was hilarious and by the end of the day the whole school knew.

    I'd make a video or something similar and send whoever it is a link and let them watch it... or because I love to paint I would paint a picture and have "I'M GAY" painted and then unveil it to them. I give this advice because you don't have to be artistically talented to be able to paint on a canvas I'm gay. I think that would be quite a nice way of coming out rather then just saying it.

    To whomever you want to come out:

    "I have a dilemma. When I get married and we're walking down the aisle, should my future husband go first or should I? Is it OK if we go by alphabetical order?" What do you think?"

    Act homosexual for Halloween, then stay gay after that.
