    Seems like having a "coming-out" party would be a great way to come out to the people closest to you. Has anyone ever done that?

    No. I hate parties.

    No. It would end with me locking myself in the bathroom and bawling my eyes out.

    Nope. It would be too awkward. Even a positive big deal about my sexuality would make me feel very uncomfortable.

    Yeah, my own parents wouldn't attend because they look at it as shameful, so that would be a no. If I had affirming parents, then maybe.

    I don't know.

    People that are close to me know.

    I don't know my extended family that well, and I have no real friends... so my mom and dad know, my case manager knows... not sure who is left to tell.

    I suppose if you have a lot of people to tell, then do it.

    Just be prepared on how to handle it if some people don't react as well as you had hoped right away.

    I don't know. When I told the people at school it was through an email... I wrote my case manager a letter.
