    Thinkng about telling a few family members im gay tomorrow at thanksgiving. Really worried about it but i think its time. Either that or wait until i move because due to circumstances beyond my control i live w my parents. I told my mom before that i was gay but backpeddled and said i was bi to get her to stop crying. Im not 100 percent comfortable with it myself i just know that i like guys. What shouldi do should i wait until i have my own place and a bf or should i just go for it. Was only going to tell a few cousins who have gay friends but im not sure they wont blab to the world.

    Is Thanksgiving about you ... or is it about everyone at the table? Pick an ordinary day, if and when you decide to do it, and not a holiday. I'm thinking of a movie that had a show-stealing scene at the dinner table like this.

    Depends. Which family members do you want to know? How will it be received? If you only want to tell one or two of them, it might be hard to get them alone in the first place and then have them not make it obvious that something's up when they return to the group.

    You think it's time. That is all that matters. Maybe not at the dinner table though.

    That takes a lot of guts to do that.

    The truth to coming out there is never a good time and people for that perfect time and it never comes. If now is the right time to do it for you I would go for it.
