    Do you guys think that this is a good idea or should i refrain from doing so? On my instagram and twitter I only let people who I "know" follow me. I would tell on Fbook but I have some older family members/church members who I don't want to know. What kind of pic should I use? I want to use the rainbow flag, but so many allies use it that people may not get it. Thanks!

    That actually might be a fun idea. Do you feel like it is a good idea?

    Yep! Haha... I know that when I come out I just have to do it to everyone at once and not be scared. I don't have too much to lose, so I figure that when the time comes I will go all at once. First I will tell those closest to me, than the rest of the world!

    If you feel comfortable, I'd say got for it! It sounds like you have given it some thought, and I like your idea of wanting to come out to those closest to you first!

    Don't forget to take a deep breath! It's going to be fine. :slight_smile:
