    I'm ready to come out. If people don't already think I'm gay, they will by the end of the week. Long story. Anyway, my mum already knows and I'm not sure how to tell her I'm ready to come out. :bang:

    If she already knows, and if she is supportive, I think you could talk to her about how you feel.
    A supportive mum, if she's like my late mum, is great to talk to.

    I hope things work out for you.

    I wish you good luck! ^^
    I've told my mom that I was bisexual, then pansexual, then that I didn't want to label myself, but now I'm planning on telling her I'm gay. She probably thinks I'm really confused but oh well. As YermanTom said, if your mom is supportive about it, then go on and tell her c:

    It's okay. If coming out were easy, we wouldn't be having a lot of the societal problems we do. Just give it time and you'll get to a place where you feel comfortable coming out eventually.

    I didn't "chicken out" for lack of a better, less insensitive phrase, rather, the opportunity never arose, as I planned to tell her I wanted to come out before I went on school camp, so that I personally could have a better time with my friends (85.7% of whom are either straight girls or gay, not including myself), but we were with other people the wholemorning before I left. I am just really over this huge charade.
