    I've decided after numerous failed attempts to come out to my grandmother in person, to write a letter. She's not homophobic or anything, sexuality has always been a sensitive subject for me, I don't really like to talk about it I guess.

    Hey.
    You've known me since I was born. The second I was on the Earth, you were there. You've been with me through the ups and downs, the depression and the happiness. You've always supported me, whether it be in school or music or whatever the hell I'm doing next. Whatever your reaction to this letter is, I still love ya. I've tried time and time again to say this in person. It's been months of attempting; but quite honestly, I have the bravery of a potato. This is the only way I could say what I wanted to say. I'm sorry I'm to much of a coward to say this to your face. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I'm gay. (I'm out skateboarding if you're looking for me)
    Love ya,
    Dylan

    That's really honest (and actually QUITE brave), 3n, but do you want to say "hell" in a letter to your grandmother?

    Just a thought.

    Good luck!:slight_smile:

    So short and sweet and to the point...

    Idk if the "im sorry im too much of a coward to say this to your face" is necessary... You explained the letter and the fear already... its your choice, I just didnt see it as necessary, but I dont know you and your grandma :slight_smile:

    I wish you the best of luck :grin:

    I think your letter is to-the-point and honest. I hope things turn out well for you. I came out to one of my friends via text, and to my parents in a letter (Two, actually - One for lesbian, the second as bisexual). I think your grandmother will appreciate that you had the guts to write that to her in a letter. Because once it's on paper, there's proof. In-person comings out are always nerve wracking, so writing it out is good enough. I'm sure she'd be supportive and love you even more. Good luck! (*hug*)
