    I'm 16 years old, bi and live in Alabama (unfortunately probably one of the worst places you could live if your LGBT). I've decided that I want to tell my friend I'm bi, he'll be the first person to know that I am. I'm pretty nervous and not really sure if I should tell him by texting him or tell him in the morning at school. Any advice on what I should or shouldn't say or how I should tell him? Thanks!

    I'm also bi, and I've had to come out to a homophobic friend; however, I just did it in person to his face and he accepted me. Sometimes it helps the person to see that gay/bi/trans people are just normal people and no different than the rest of us. Good luck! :slight_smile:

    As far as I know he's ok..he isn't homophobic or anything but I don't know how he'll respond. I'm so nervous. I think I may want to do it through text!

    That's how came out to a lot of people. I think it's a perfectly good way to do it.
    Good luck!!:thumbsup:
