    So I really like this guy at my school, and I know he is gay. And we got coffee today and were talking about him coming out. And I kind of told him I am gay... I think I am gonna tell my parents tomorrow! So if you guys have any good ideas of things to say or what not, that would be great!

    Dear friend

    That's wonderful to hear. All I can say is prepare. They might ask question you don't know how to respond, so get ready. I hope you two stick together like us.

    Good luck
    Dexter and Ryan

    That's excellent news!! I hope everything works out for the both of you. My advice to you is stand you ground and be firm in your answers. Be honest and sincere. What you'll say to them is up to you. In my experience with dealing with parents is you can't really prepare for what they'll say or what they'll ask. It'll be sort of impromptu speaking and answering on the fly. Considering your name is theatreboy, I assume you'll have no problem with this and just think of it as another production.

    Hi there! Great that things are going well, and that your coming out progress is coming along. :slight_smile:

    The question I would have is, if you were asked how your parents would or could react, what would your answer be? Their possible reaction could very well influence in how you come out to them, and what you would like to say or tell them.
