    Well, if you have a partner, you could casually mention them. Saying something like "Oh, yeah. My girl/boyfriend said blah blah blah"

    If not, you could make a joke about it. I make a TON of self-depricating jokes about me being "a huge homo" I like to say stuff like, "Nah, I'm way to gay for that, man" That type of thing. It doesn't have to be huge.

    Or, you could have them watch this video casually

    For you, Midori, I am not quite sure how to tell people you are ace or genderfluid... But you could try the whole joking thing if you could think of one... I'm sorry I'm not much help here. I can only draw from my own experiences.

    I mean, you could always bake a cake and write stuff in the frosting if that's your style. Like "Surprise, I'm genderfluid!"

    Or buy a tshirt and just randomly wear it around and wait for them to catch on, then be like "Yup! BOOM BABY" LGBTQ | HUMAN | T-Shirts, Clothing, Home Goods & Accessories

    Best of luck to you both! I'll be here rooting for ya!

    "Do any of you like cricket/baseball?"

    "Yes, why?"

    "Because I'm batting for the other team"

    Parents, I'm not sure about the casual one. For friends, I'll just casually add (usually when we're already on the topic of LGBT) "Yea, I'm bi, so it's like blahblahblah"

    I'm a huge fan of the casual coming-out, generally I find it's a case of finding the right opportunity to slip something gay on in there.

    Everyone else has already offered great suggestions! (And am laughing a lot at VelvetBlade's one, because that is beautiful.)

    My go-tos tend to be referring to my girlfriend (or ex-girlfriends when the topic makes it appropriate to mention them), haha. I once had a college friend ask me what my ideal guy would look like, and to my recollection I answered her with something to the effect, "Tall, ginger...and a girl, I think."

    Or, you know. Talk about an attractive dude, and throw a little "no hetero!" in there afterwards, haha!
